Park Se-ik — CEO, ex-Chief Strategist

Summary

Park Se-ik discusses market cycles, behavioral pitfalls, and his current positioning. He reveals a large KOSPI 200 bet targeting 30% gains, argues that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix will keep trending upward despite cyclical volatility, and is watching whether the US market follows Korea's recent decline. Much of the conversation is a behavioral-finance lesson encouraging investors to learn from mistakes and embrace volatility.

  • Park Se-ik holds a 100 billion won long position in Korean equities and is not selling until he sees a 30% gain.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are described as high-margin 'land' that reliably recovers after cyclical earnings floods.
  • He is monitoring the US market for a potential drawdown that historically has followed Korean market peaks.
  • The video emphasises behavioral discipline: writing a trading diary, avoiding FOMO, and understanding one's own mistakes.
  • The Chesley Korea-China-US focus fund is promoted as a pension-account solution, though no public ticker exists.
  • Market seasonality and the importance of buying during downturns are illustrated with the winter-hat analogy.

Holding KOSPI 200 for 30% gains.
He entered a large 100 billion won position near the recent market lows and is holding for a 30% gain, citing the strong rebound in the KOSPI 200 (up 19.9% at one point) and his conviction that the Korean equity market has further upside.

Monitoring US equities for a potential fall.
Historically, the Korean market has led US market drawdowns (2018 Korean peak in January, US fall in October; 2021 Korean peak in June, US later). Because Korea has already declined sharply, he is monitoring whether the same pattern unfolds and the US market might follow with a significant pullback.

Samsung and SK hynix will keep uptrend.
Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are like fertile land that produces high operating margins (SK hynix 76%) but periodically suffers 'floods' (deep earnings troughs) that temporarily crash the land price. Each time the land recovers and enjoys bumper harvests, so the stock price trend remains upward despite volatility. He states he believes they will continue this upward pattern going forward.
