Reminds me of my short term as a stockbroker (I learned why the word includes "broke") and investment history of Buy High, Sell Low. I guess ignorance is bliss until the scam peters out...
Not yet. Struggling to get my substack CrossCulturalConfusion up and running from way up here in Tsugaru, Aomori. The Kyote is fantastic reading. I was working in Tokyo when Black Monday hit in '87, just as I was about to go to work for Paribas. Ms. Onoue would have been a good match for farm boy naive me, sorry I didn't meet her and The Frog.

I like that "broke" part, I may have to steal that in the future :)
Sounds like it was an adventure though, have you written about it anywhere?

Aomori! Great in summer...
Thanks for the compliment. I have a friend who was about to work at Citi when they had their Japanese private banking arm shut down by regulators.
Let me know if I can be any help with CrossCulturalConfusion!
