Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates for Second Time Since 2007

Oh là là! SA au Japon. Je l'aime bien
Either that rate hike is not even worth a news story or its a Extinction Level Event . Both scenarios are why you cant call me crazy because l always keep a fully stocked bunker and arsenal of weapons just in case my house is attacked by zombies .
I'm funny. because the US is always concerned about Japan.
The more the US cares about Japan, the weaker the US becomes. The US is weakening the US.
If you ask me who does it, I say God.
I believe the yen and the stock market will fall again
🇯🇵government🤮
Your explanations are clear and straightforward. It's always an honour to have you here as a mentor, I appreciate you for the time being spent to educate and update us financially. Regardless of how bad it gets the economy, I still make over $28K every single week. I truly value Lia Lorenzo and her helpful guides.
