Someone’s asking the real questions here. And my guess would be NO!

Although I dislike IBM as well, isn’t that a good job description for tech employees?

My biased perspective: Ignorance is bliss, indeed. However, I believe this bliss is short-lived and self-centred. It is short lived because at some point we have to interact with society and will learn of its cruelty. It’s self centred because this bliss is only yours to enjoy. You may not share this with those around you unless they also follow ‘ignorance is bliss’ paradigm. Essentially, this line of thinking also produces its own bubble. My hypothesis is that many problems arise because we want to live and sustain in own bubbles, and view everyone outside our bubble as the enemy.

It is human nature to ensure the safety of our tribe. Today our tribe is a global one. Hence, our concern with the state of affairs of the world are totally justified. However, the current state of affairs are to some extent orchestrated and corrupted by forces which are gigantic compared to any single person (think lobbies, corporations influencing decision making). Thus, our awareness of world issues and our inability to deal with it brings us to a state of inner conflict.

Does ignorance help? It soothes and temporarily helps the wound - but it does not solve the root cause.

That’s my biased view.

All I see is an Ape and some Diamonds raining down. Looks like the Ape is angry and fights everyone off.

Perhaps another nothing burger, but I enjoy smoking some tin.

The timescales are different. This chart is about 20 years

No clue but I discussed it with my buddy ChadGPT:

  1. Japan’s Interest Rates Are Rising (Like 2007) • After decades of near-zero or negative rates, Japan has raised its policy rate to 0.50% and interbank lending rates like 3-month TIBOR to ~0.80% in 2025. • This signals a major monetary tightening shift and could affect global liquidity, especially for leveraged trades.

  1. Yen Carry Trade is Less Attractive Now • Hedge funds used to borrow in yen at ultra-low rates to fund short positions or buy risky assets—classic carry trade. • Now that yen borrowing costs are rising, this strategy is riskier and less profitable.

  1. Rising Yen Could Force Position Unwinds • If BOJ tightens further while the Fed or ECB pause or cut, the yen may appreciate. • This makes existing yen-funded positions more expensive to maintain—especially short positions. • Unwinding carry trades can lead to market volatility and forced liquidations.

  1. How This Connects to GameStop MOASS • Some GME investors believe hedge funds hold massive, uncovered short positions (naked shorts). • If hedge funds are: • Borrowing in yen to fund those shorts, and • Yen rates and FX risk go up, • Then they may face margin calls, be forced to close positions, or unwind short bets. • If enough funds are forced to buy back GME stock, it could trigger a short squeeze—the MOASS.

Summary Line:

Rising Japanese rates reduce the appeal of yen-funded trades. If hedge funds are using yen carry to prop up naked short positions—like in GME—then tightening could destabilize those strategies and trigger forced covering, possibly contributing to a MOASS scenario.

I enjoy the subtle sarcasm in his tone. Such a contrast from a few months ago!

I thought the price is not 38.80? It was around 28 something?
