Who would want to trade this or live in Japan. It's a bubble, so it can crash overnight. If it goes any higher, but bubble gets bigger, which will lead to an even bigger crash down the road. You can't short it because the BOJ cannot be trusted. They say one thing and do another as a rule. And you can't do much with your yen because the currency is so weak. You also have a very much higher cost of living now so you can't afford to gamble on bubble stocks. And this is what the BOJ and government worked so hard for? I'd fire them all if I were in charge. The lot of them are useless, lack foresight, and do everything to mess up the lives of the Japanese people.

Japanese officials are so addicted to punchbowl they are talking about deflation. Just like an alcoholic needing endless drinks worried about reality. Japan has literally created an endless emergency crsis for itself with endless emegency crisis rates, lol. Go figure.

They obviously never walk into a grocery store these days. To be talking about deflation is delusional! If they are so worried about Japan let them all take a 50% cut in pay so that the government can reduce its debt.

Courting a repeat of 1929 is no joke. This is what modern governments and central banks are doing. And Japan is one of the worst offenders.

In case people, namely the government and central bankers of Japan, are unaware, the problems of endless pathologically low rates are many. A simple query to Chat GPT and note the list it spat out: Keeping interest rates exceptionally low for prolonged periods can lead to various issues and unintended consequences, some of which include: Encouraging excessive risk-taking: When interest rates are low, investors may seek higher returns by taking on riskier investments. This can lead to asset bubbles in housing markets, stock markets, or other sectors, which may eventually burst and cause financial instability. Distorting resource allocation: Low interest rates can make it cheaper for businesses to borrow money, potentially leading to misallocation of resources. This can result in investments in projects that are not economically viable in the long term, leading to inefficiencies in the economy. Reducing incentives for saving: Low interest rates can discourage saving as the returns on savings are minimal. This can negatively impact individuals who rely on interest income for retirement or other purposes. Contributing to income inequality: Low interest rates can benefit those who own assets like stocks and real estate, as the value of these assets tends to increase when interest rates are low. This can widen the wealth gap between asset owners and those reliant on wages for income. Limiting the effectiveness of monetary policy: Keeping interest rates too low for too long can reduce the effectiveness of monetary policy tools. Central banks may have limited room to lower rates further in response to future economic downturns, potentially limiting their ability to stimulate the economy. Creating pension fund challenges: Low interest rates can pose challenges for pension funds and insurance companies, as they rely on returns from fixed-income investments to meet their obligations. Persistently low rates can strain their ability to generate sufficient returns to meet their long-term liabilities. Fueling debt accumulation: Low interest rates can encourage consumers, businesses, and governments to take on more debt since borrowing costs are cheaper. This can lead to a buildup of debt that may become unsustainable once interest rates rise. Undermining the financial system: Prolonged low interest rates can erode the profitability of banks and financial institutions, as their net interest margins decrease. This can weaken the stability of the financial system and reduce the availability of credit. It's important for central banks to carefully consider the potential risks and unintended consequences of maintaining low interest rates for extended periods and to balance the need for stimulating economic growth with the need to maintain financial stability.

Funny one of the officials said they ought not to raise rates because of financial stability concerns. But ironically, the low rates for an exdended period have made for a potentially very unstable scenario going forward.

For nearly two years they've been talking about raising rates. But instead the BOJ used every excuse not to almost every meeting. And they stoked a massive bubble to boot. What I dont get is why they say they are going to raise rates in the first place and then not follow through. The logical thing is not only to raise rates but also to follow through on what they say they are going to do. Such a load of bunk.

The only conclusion is they are dishonest and corrupt. There is no need to say you are going to raise rates. But to say you are and then doing the opposite is awful.

Deflation and instability the problem. No more rate hikes for now. 70,000 my new target price. That market cap to GDP is 400% higher than 12 years ago is no concern.

Japanese politicians talking about deflation. Yeah, like that is going to pump up the bubble even bigger. The D word to owners of stocks is probably what holy water is to a vampire, lol.
