Thank you for looking it up! Is there a name for the practice of embedding a completely unrelated video into the middle of an article? I find this practice to be so mystifying. Does that work on readers?

If JPY appreciates against USD they don't make money or can even lose money. I'm sure there is some hedging going on, but I don't know for sure the mechanics of it all: https://www.thebalancemoney.com/yen-carr

This is exactly right, and also demonstrates why the Japan is in a bind. They don't mind the currency going low as it helps exports but going too low, too fast is a problem. Increasing interest rates to narrow the spread will affect th

As a retail investor, you can do Forex trading or you could do time deposits at a Japanese bank (assuming you live here). SMBC Prestia is offering 6.5% on it right now for example: https://www.smbctb.co.jp/en/timedeposi

I think the mistake this site is making is trying to model out pressure changes that would create an airfoil-like shape of airflow. That's not how wings work. The pressure at the wing's leading surface is infinite because there&#x

Yeah that's not how it works though... nobody is saying lead causes violent crime. Nobody is claiming crime can't go back up without lead. Of course there are better causative factors. It's just that meta-analysis over many s

One thing this blog post is missing is the words "I'm sorry" or "I feel bad about this." I suspect he doesn't feel bad about it at all and revealing the deception is now just for more clicks and attention.
