Ideas
AI capex still flows to semiconductors.
The memory chip rally can extend because cloud customers are discussing 2028 demand growth, not just 2027, and supply stability remains critical; Seagate's earnings and outlook drove a sharp rally and point to a seller's market for memory.
Nuclear fuel supply chain strengthening.
The U.S. Department of Energy is strengthening the nuclear fuel supply chain, and uranium and nuclear stocks such as Centrus Energy and Cameco are rallying; the speaker says investors should keep watching nuclear names again.
Weak dollar lifts gold and silver.
Trump tolerating a weak dollar, plus safe-haven demand, has pushed gold to $5,400 and silver sharply higher; precious metals are among the few assets that keep rising in the current regime.
Iran risk keeps oil bid.
Trump's latest ultimatum to Iran and military fleet movement increase geopolitical uncertainty; oil has risen to around $63, and while not historically threatening, the risk can affect market sentiment and oil prices.
Meta ad growth justifies AI capex.
Meta's earnings beat and rising EPS, along with its ability to keep capex high while guiding 2026 operating profit above 2025, justify the positive after-market stock reaction; cost control and advertising support AI spending.
Stay long Korean chip leaders.
Semiconductors remain the market's leading group; within it he relatively prefers Samsung Electronics and believes SK hynix still has a long path higher after strong earnings and its importance in U.S. investment plans.
Prefer Korean bonds over US Treasuries.
U.S. fiscal policy is expansionary while monetary policy is shifting to easing, which will support growth first but later reignite inflation; he expects U.S. Treasury yields to be higher by year-end, making long-term U.S. Treasuries less attractive, while Korean government bonds are relatively better supported by foreign inflows, WGBI inclusion, and a possible Bank of Korea cut in Q4.

Semiconductor equipment/materials to catch up.
In past cycles Korean semiconductor equipment and materials rallied before chipmakers, but this time they lagged because chipmakers only saw price growth without capacity expansion; now Micron, Intel, Kioxia and others are expanding capacity, so equipment and materials should catch up, with names like Neosem, SNS Tech, FSD, and TES already moving.
Buy KOSDAQ 150 on dips.
ETF money is rotating quickly, and KOSDAQ index and leveraged ETFs are attracting strong inflows; without KOSDAQ 150 exposure investors are missing the liquidity-driven rally, and KOSDAQ 150 can be bought on dips.
SK hynix earnings upside remains.
SK hynix's 4Q operating profit of 19.2T and 58% operating margin are exceptional; relative to Micron, SK hynix trades too cheaply on earnings, and analysts' targets imply large upside; the memory cycle and HBM position remain strong.
Samsung Electronics valuation has upside.
Samsung Electronics is also leveraged to the memory upcycle; SK Securities raised its target to 260,000 won, implying significant upside, and chip earnings estimates are being revised higher even though the stock has lagged.
Tesla auto fundamentals deteriorating.
Tesla's auto business is deteriorating: annual deliveries fell 9%, revenue and operating profit declined, operating margin dropped to 4.6%, U.S., China, and Europe sales fell, and competition is increasing; the auto segment could even turn to a loss, so despite AI and robot optionality the near-term fundamentals are risky.
BYD is gaining global EV share.
BYD is growing rapidly and has become a global EV force: it sold about 2.26 million EVs in the past year, up 27.9%, widening its lead over Tesla; its products are now competitive enough that it cannot be ignored.
SK hynix 1Q estimates too low.
SK hynix's 1Q operating profit is likely to exceed consensus and rise to 25-30T because product mix improves, costs decline, and memory prices keep climbing despite limited bit supply; investors should keep holding SK hynix.
Hyundai robot optionality underappreciated.
KB Securities' Hyundai Motor report values Boston Dynamics much higher and assigns Hyundai and Kia stakes in the humanoid robot business; if even half of the robot and autonomous-driving optionality is realized, fair value is much higher, and the report argues buying around 500,000 won is reasonable.
ESS demand from data centers.
ESS remains attractive because data-center power demand is rising; Fluence Energy's 1,200MW Arizona contract tied to power demand shows the trend, and if data-center orders follow, the stock can go higher; he also suggests the KODEX Hydrogen Power Infrastructure Active ETF and mentions domestic suppliers Vinatech and Sejin System.
Avoid crowded Korean battery sector.
He acknowledges the robot and ESS narrative is strong and Korean secondary battery stocks have rallied, but at current prices he is personally burdened about entering the sector and thinks the price has already run up a lot.
Space-defense KOSDAQ policy tailwind.
SpaceX's expected June IPO, Trump-driven geopolitical tension increasing defense budgets, and Korean KOSDAQ activation policies together support Korean space and defense KOSDAQ names; he prefers this combination and highlights downstream names like Lumiere and Satrec Initiative and upstream Spear, while also liking KOSPI upstream Hanwha Aerospace and Korea Aerospace Industries.
Obesity drugs are consumer trend.
Obesity is becoming a consumer trend; Novo Nordisk still has significant upside because oral obesity drugs should see huge demand and remove injection barriers; in Korea he likes DND Pharmatech.
Buy Samsung on semiconductor volatility.
Samsung Electronics is still a buy even around 160,000 won because the target price has been raised to 260,000 won and semiconductor earnings are unlikely to break; he would treat volatility like today as a buying opportunity.
LS Electric lags transformer peers.
In the transformer and power-equipment space he prefers LS Electric because it has lagged the other LS-group names and has high earnings expectations, so he would keep holding it.
Stay long KOSPI.
The flow of the market is upward, and investors should ride it; KOSPI's status has changed with institutional and foreign inflows and structural improvement, so new entrants should still invest and use diversified assets to manage volatility.
Avoid volatile KOSDAQ.
He is not adding KOSDAQ to portfolios yet because its volatility is too high and makes overall portfolio risk hard to manage; he would recommend it if KOSDAQ volatility stabilizes like U.S. biotech.
Diversify with silver and bonds.
For a concentrated portfolio, he recommends diversifying part of the gains into silver, bond-type ETFs, and commodities to manage correlation and volatility so investors can hold through drawdowns.
Buy Samsung and SK hynix.
Investors feeling FOMO because they missed Samsung Electronics and SK hynix should still enter now; he sees the KOSPI regime as changed and the semiconductor leaders as core assets.
