Korea discount narrowing supports KOSPI long-term.
Korea's market re-rating has real support because corporate governance reform is becoming institutionalized, minority shareholder voices are strengthening, and roughly 70% of KOSPI listed companies trade below 1x price-to-book. The Korea discount should narrow over the medium term, and Korean index exposure looks attractive long-term.
Google sell-off overdone; resources allow catch-up.

For long-term passive investors, broad index ETFs, especially the S&P 500 held on rolling 20-year or 30-year periods since 1928, have had no case of failing to beat inflation. Market-cap weighting automatically removes failed companies and rides winners, so long-term index ETF investing is the high-probability core recommendation.
