Week 25: Crazy start to the week but mostly recovered by EOW

Overall portfolio fell 2.5% week-over-week which was a lot less than what I would have expected on Monday.

The Japanese government raised interest rates by 25 bps which shocked the market and sent domestic Japanese shares down 12% and affected U.S. stocks throughout Monday. However, most of the losses were trimmed by the end of the week as investors realized that the U.S. economy remains quite strong still. There was a lot of chatter about an economic collapse on Monday but that fear seems to be overblown.
