Ideas
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 0:00
Avoid leveraged and inverse SK Hynix products.
Leveraged and inverse products on highly cyclical stocks like SK Hynix act like gambling and destroy wealth, as seen by massive losses in both directions during recent volatility. They should be avoided entirely except for very short-term trades during extreme panic selling.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 7:42
MLCC demand drives Samsung Electro-Mechanics' strong rebound.
The stock experienced a severe 65% drop after being overvalued, but it is now rebounding because MLCCs are essential for AI, autonomous driving, and robotics. It faces heavy resistance around the 160,000 to 180,000 KRW level.

Foreigners are continuously buying Kumho Tire.
The stock chart shows an unusual and promising upward pattern, supported by continuous and steady buying from foreign investors.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 10:53
Foreigners keep buying despite price drops.
Foreign investors are continuously accumulating shares even when the stock price drops, indicating strong underlying demand and a positive outlook.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 11:37
Solid earnings and foreign buying support upside.
Despite a 50% drop from its peak, the company reported solid earnings, and foreign investors have consistently increased their stake to 29%, suggesting the stock has further upside potential as earnings support the valuation.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 14:40
Anthropic stake protects SK Telecom from dropping.
The stock is holding up well during market volatility and is unlikely to drop significantly because of the underlying value of its stake in the AI startup Anthropic.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 17:03
Foreigners are steadily reducing stakes in automakers.
Foreign ownership is steadily decreasing from a peak of 41%, indicating that foreign investors do not view the automobile sector favorably right now, despite positive narratives like Boston Dynamics.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 21:22
Strong rebound with weak hands washed out.
The stock is performing exceptionally well, up 67% from its recent bottom. The lack of market chatter suggests that weak hands have already sold, leaving room for continued strength.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 23:42
KOSPI is cheap and poised for rebound.
The KOSPI index is still very cheap at current levels (around 2,630) and has only recovered about 40% of its recent drop. A strong rebound is expected to continue through the end of August, provided US interest rates stabilize.
