๐งต๐จ JAPAN JUST QUIETLY TOUCHED GLOBAL MARKETS
(And 99% of investors still donโt see it)
On Dec 19, 2025, the BOJ raised rates to 0.75% - the highest since 1995.
But the rate hike isnโt the story.
The commentary is.

๐ด Borrow yen at near-zero
๐ Invest anywhere else
๐ฐ Pocket the difference
This single policy injected TRILLIONS into global markets.
That era is ending.

Tata has 29 listed companies.
Adani has 10.
Bajaj has 6.
All under the same group name.
This structure often kills value.
80% of group companies globally trade at a discount.
But post-demerger?
Valuations can jump 30โ60% within a year.

For decades, Indiaโs biggest groups ran like empires.
One parent. Dozens of businesses.
All controlled under one umbrella.
It gave power, control, and stability.
But in stock markets? It created something dangerous:
Conglomerate Discount.
Whatโs a Conglomerate Discount?
Letโs say a business group has:
โ โน40,000 Cr in Steel
โ โน30,000 Cr in Power
โ โน30,000 Cr in Chemicals
Total: โน1 Lakh Cr in value.
But the stock market says:
โToo complicated. Hard to value. Letโs just price you at โน60,000 Cr.โ
This is the conglomerate discount โ when the whole is worth less than the sum of its parts.

Why does this happen?
Because investors hate complexity.
When one company runs 10 businesses:
โ You canโt benchmark it easily
โ You donโt know whatโs dragging what
โ Capital gets misallocated
โ Profitable arms fund weaker ones
โ Governance gets murky
So the market punishes it.

Before Alexander was โthe Great,โ he was just a young man with the weight of expectation crushing him.
People doubted him. Whispered he wasnโt legitimate.
Sound familiar?

So he did something most rulers wouldnโt dare do.
He didnโt conquer another city.
He walked into the desert โ alone โ to ask who he really was.

In 1940 Britain only porduced the heavy and complex Lanchester SMG, a copy of the 1920s German MP28. The Lanchester was designed for use by naval boarding parties and also issued to the the RAF Regiment. It was made of high quailty materials and expensive to produce.

Large numbers of Thompson SMGs were ordered from the United States in 1939, but supply could never meet demand, especially after the US entered the war in 1941. The Thompson was also expensive to produce and relatively complex.
In 1940 the Design Department at the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich and the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield worked tegether to develop a simplified mass-production weapon, based the the Lanchester's action, compatable with the Lanchester/MP 28 magazine and 9x19mm Parabellum round.

Microwaves are the most common type of man-made radiation we come into contact with on a day to day basis.
This type of wave is emitted when charges oscillate, in this case electricity.
The waves are characterized by their frequency (below) and wavelength.
