Ideas
Volatility persists; wait before acting.
Trump's Greenland and tariff conflict with Europe plus rising Japanese long-term yields are driving sharp volatility; the selloff is not yet a fundamental breakdown, so investors should watch rather than rush to act.
Gold and silver are safe-haven winners.
Gold and silver are acting as the strongest safe havens as dollar weakness and geopolitical stress push capital into hard assets; gold miners and silver are confirming the move.
Natural gas spike worth monitoring.
Natural gas has surged on Arctic cold and Europe's energy vulnerability after breaking from Russia; the catalyst mix is uncertain, but the commodity setup is worth monitoring.
Choose US over Europe.
In a US-Europe confrontation, the US has greater economic, military and AI leadership, while Europe is unprepared and has few effective retaliation tools; a long US versus Europe allocation is favored.
Greenland acquisition boosts US rare earths.
If the US acquires Greenland, its rare-earth resource dominance could strengthen, supporting rare-earth names such as MP Materials and USA Rare Earth.
Memory semis show relative strength.
AI leadership makes memory semiconductors strategically important; Micron and SanDisk held up while broader tech fell, showing relative strength.
Geopolitical selloff is a buy.
Europe and the US may eventually separate, but this is not the day; earnings and fundamentals are still expanding, and the April 2025 tariff-shock pattern suggests the current selloff is a buying opportunity.
US, Korea, Taiwan lead AI earnings.
Korea itself is an undervalued earnings market, and screen-ranked names such as Korea Electric Power, Hana Financial, SK, GS Holdings, Hankook Tire, Hyundai Wia, Mirae Asset Securities and Hyundai Construction Equipment fit the value-plus-earnings-momentum style.
US, Korea, Taiwan lead AI earnings.
Geopolitical risk is not damaging fundamentals; AI-driven earnings momentum is strongest in the US, Korea and Taiwan, and those markets should continue to lead global earnings growth.
Commodities hedge long-term inflation.
Governments continue to print money and fund wars with debt, so commodities remain a medium-term inflation hedge.
Hyundai Motor is undervalued robotics play.
Hyundai Motor is deeply undervalued versus Tesla, has strong cash flow and dividend potential, and its hidden robotics/Boston Dynamics value can drive a re-rating.
Rising rates favor value mid-caps.
Rising rates historically favor value and mid-cap stocks, so investors should shift toward undervalued mid-caps and value names as safety margins are sought.
Memory semis are cheap and strong.
Micron, SK hynix and Samsung Electronics have attractive valuations and good earnings, and they fell less than other tech because memory supply remains tight.
Buy May MSCI inclusion candidates.
The February MSCI inclusions are already priced, so the better event trade is to buy likely May-review inclusion candidates such as Rainbow Robotics, Hyundai AutoEver, Kiwoom Securities and Isu Petasys.
Atlas gives Hyundai robot edge.
Hyundai's Atlas humanoid has a two-year payback target, 2028 mass-production plan, internal group customers and Google AI plus Nvidia chips, giving Hyundai Motor a credible robot commercialization edge.
Memory semis outperform on supply cuts.
Samsung and SK hynix are cutting NAND output while AI demand raises prices; Micron and SanDisk showed relative strength, and memory semis should outperform.
KOSPI short-term correction likely.
The KOSPI is near a third-wave target with overextended moving averages and RSI, so a short-term correction is likely before the uptrend resumes.
Buy undervalued dividends with momentum.
He is looking for undervalued large-cap dividend stocks with any new momentum; Korea Electric Power's nuclear momentum and SK Telecom's Anthropic stake make them notable examples.
AI semis win over AI infra.
A Deutsche Bank report he endorses argues AI is entering a differentiated phase: AI semiconductors still have structural benefit, while neoclouds and AI infrastructure face heavy capex and weak profit visibility.
AI semis win over AI infra.
A Deutsche Bank report he endorses argues AI is entering a differentiated phase: AI semiconductors still have structural benefit, while neoclouds and AI infrastructure face heavy capex and weak profit visibility.
KOSPI uptrend continues on earnings.
The KOSPI uptrend is earnings-driven, with leading 12-month EPS and the index historically correlated at 0.93; the 2026 target is 5,300 but upside may open further after semiconductor earnings.
Semiconductors are top market leader.
Semiconductors are the top market leader, driven by AI and memory earnings, and should remain the main index driver.
KOSDAQ should outperform early year.
KOSDAQ has historically outperformed in January-February and should benefit in the first quarter from prior underperformance, policy budget support and rotation.
Cheap growth laggards can rally.
Internet, pharma/biotech, cosmetics, staples, entertainment and secondary-battery names are cheap versus history and earnings; if rates stabilize, these laggards can rally.
China-exposed Korean consumer rebounds.
Korean consumer names with high China exposure or overseas revenue that were sold after the China-thaw trade can rebound as Korea-China relations improve.
Storage shortage supports Samsung and SK hynix.
AI data centers are creating a storage shortage, so Samsung Electronics and SK hynix should keep attracting interest even if macro headlines cause dips.
Hyundai Motor re-rates on robotics.
Hyundai Motor trades at a fraction of Tesla's multiple and is one of only two mass-production robot makers, so Boston Dynamics value can drive re-rating; buy on pullbacks rather than chase.
K-beauty is undervalued rotation play.
K-beauty and beauty-device names are undervalued relative to earnings and are starting to attract rotation as investors look beyond crowded semis and robots.
Natural gas surge lifts pipes.
Natural gas prices are surging on US heating demand and supply concerns, lifting steel pipe and gas pipeline related stocks.
Robot theme lifts auto parts.
The robot theme should continue all year; automotive parts makers are cheap and can re-rate if their actuator or robot exposure becomes credible, with Hyundai Mobis a key example.
Nuclear cycle supports Korean supply chain.
The nuclear cycle is not over; government support and data-center power demand keep KEPCO, Doosan Enerbility and Hyundai E&C on a positive path, though KEPCO may take profits short term.
Spandex price hike boosts Hyosung TNC.
Spandex prices rose for the first time in four years after a Chinese competitor's bankruptcy tightened supply; Hyosung TNC, the global spandex leader, should see earnings improve.
Alteogen dip is opportunity.
Alteogen's license deal disappointed on royalty size but is not a fundamental break; additional deals and KOSPI transfer supply make the dip an opportunity rather than a sell.
LigaChem has license-out catalyst.
LigaChem Biosciences is among the companies flagged for potential first-quarter license-out deals, supporting positive expectations.
Obesity and R&D biotech attractive.
Selected Korean biotech names tied to obesity drugs and R&D remain fundamentally positive and can be bought on weakness.
Own Korean semis plus US stocks.
He runs a portfolio with about 20% in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix and 80% in US stocks, and also likes Micron because Korean and US semiconductor leadership remains strong.
Avoid leveraged ETFs.
Leveraged ETFs have structural decay and cause loss of emotional control; even trained managers rarely make money with them, so they should be avoided.
AI, robotics, space are megatrends.
The next decade's megatrends are AI, robotics and space; investors should study these areas and own leading names such as Alphabet and Nvidia.
Space upstream market is growing.
Private space led by SpaceX has cut launch costs and expanded the market; upstream launch, satellite and ground-equipment segments should grow as launch cadence rises.
Hanwha Aerospace is Korea's SpaceX.
Hanwha Aerospace is Korea's main Nuri rocket player with transferred technology, strong defense cash flow and space optionality, making it the closest Korean analog to SpaceX.
Memory remains market leader.
Memory is still the market leader because its growth and earnings outlook is already fixed and keeps exceeding expectations; space is a theme, not the leader.
Buy semiconductor dip.
The selloff is macro-driven, not fundamental; semiconductor supply shortages and excess demand remain, so investors should use weakness to buy Samsung Electronics, SK hynix and semis.
Watch quality Korean biotech.
Korean biotech is pressured by macro and Alteogen's royalty miss, but companies with solid technology-export pipelines and obesity-drug exposure should be watched for recovery.
Biosecure Act benefits Korean CDMOs.
The US Biosecure Act is nearing passage and could push Chinese biotech out of supply chains, benefiting Korean CDMO leaders Samsung Biologics and Celltrion.
