Summary

Kim Min-soo, CEO of Lemon Research, reviews the market after the July selloff and argues that the AI hardware cycle is intact, so core leaders should be held rather than sold. He sees cheap Korean memory names caught between passive selling and active buying, and suggests using broad semiconductor vehicles for tactical trading. He highlights Nvidia earnings and Jackson Hole as near-term events, and points to robotics and Hyundai Motor as a developing theme via Unitree's IPO and Hyundai's investor day. The conversation also covers trading discipline, account separation, and why most retail investors should not quit their jobs to trade.

  • The market has partially recovered after a violent July, but near-term direction remains uncertain with potential index resistance.
  • AI hardware is still the core profit pool, and core leaders should be held through volatility.
  • AI software is seen as a later profit pool after AI infrastructure matures.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK hynix look cheap and are seeing active foreign buying despite passive selling.
  • Tactical semiconductor trading is shifting toward index leverage or KODEX Semiconductor ETF.
  • Next week's Nvidia earnings and Jackson Hole are key near-term catalysts to watch.
  • Unitree's IPO and Hyundai Motor Investor Day put robotics back into focus.
Ideas
Samsung and SK hynix look cheap.
Foreign passive flows are heavily selling large-cap Korean semiconductor names such as Samsung Electronics and related stock futures, while active foreign buyers are accumulating Samsung Electronics and SK hynix because they see them as cheap. The valuation disconnect supports a long position in these Korean memory leaders.
Trade semis via KODEX Semiconductor ETF.
With leveraged single-stock trading becoming difficult in high volatility, traders should shift toward index-level leveraged products or KODEX Semiconductor ETF to manage semiconductor exposure and trade the swings more flexibly.
Watch Nvidia earnings and Jackson Hole.
The next major near-term market events are Nvidia earnings and the Jackson Hole meeting. Jackson Hole is likely to pass quietly because the Fed chair is not expected to aggressively highlight issues, leaving Nvidia earnings as the main catalyst to watch.
Robotics and Hyundai Motor merit watching.
Unitree's IPO is increasing attention on robotics, and when combined with Hyundai Motor's Investor Day, the robotics-related investment angle deserves a fresh look. Robotics is emerging as a developing thematic catalyst tied to Hyundai Motor.
