Recently, the interest rate hike in Japan has caused quite a stir, but to be honest, I've been wondering — how big of a splash can this really make?

In my personal judgment, purely my personal opinion, this wave of operations seems more like a cleanup of excessively leveraged long positions. After a short-term pain, it might actually create space for the upcoming larger market movements. The market is sometimes like this, first delivering a heavy blow, and then truly giving you an opportunity.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the Plume in my hand. This thing has dropped more than ten times from its peak. It really is ten times! Sometimes I wonder what qualities a project must have to fall so completely and so persistently?
