Foreigners shaking semiconductors and KOSDAQ… Investment method not swayed by 'out-of-sync supply and demand' | Myeong Min-jun, Seo Su-jin, Lee Ji-hwan

Summary

The video features Lee Ji-hwan analyzing the recent volatility in Korean semiconductor stocks and the broader market. He explains the mechanical nature of foreign long-short fund flows, which caused the KOSDAQ to bounce while semiconductors dropped, and advises investors on how to position themselves in memory chips, consumer discretionary, and biotech based on macro variables like oil prices and Treasury yields.

• SK Square's investment merit has weakened as its role as a semiconductor holding company fades.
• Investors should hold both Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix equally to hedge against shifting HBM market shares.
• Memory semiconductor makers currently boast higher profit margins than AI hardware designers like Nvidia.
• Samsung Electronics' recent drop is due to mechanical selling, and its massive shareholder return plan will eventually attract long-term foreign capital.
• The recent KOSDAQ rally is driven by mechanical short-covering rather than a structural uptrend.
• Falling oil prices provide a favorable macro setup for holding consumer discretionary stocks like cosmetics.
• Biotech and pharma stocks should be approached as short-term trades capitalizing on temporary dips in Treasury yields.
