Urgent Market Update: Market exhausted by repeated crashes — Why securing cash is important now / Is the simultaneous plunge in Asian stock markets due to the Korean stock market? | CEO Kim Min-soo

Summary

Kim Min-soo warns the market's sharp sell-off is different from prior pullbacks and likely not a buying opportunity yet. He advises raising cash, waiting for KOSPI to potentially hit 7,000, and later targeting strong semiconductor equipment names. Apple-B2B worries and OpenAI noise create headwinds for Micron, while Korean equipment stocks with new fab catalysts are poised to lead a recovery.

• KOSPI and Asian markets plunge driven by market exhaustion and negative AI demand noise.
• Apple's pricing pressure and OpenAI governance concerns raise B2B capex worries.
• Kim Min-soo says current sell-off pattern differs from past dips and further downside is likely.
• Raise cash to 30%, avoid buying now; KOSPI may hit 7,000.
• Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are long-term buys but better entry after deeper decline.
• Semiconductor equipment stocks (PSK, EO Technics, etc.) are resilient and will lead KOSDAQ recovery.
• Avoid KOSDAQ leveraged ETFs; sector plays preferred.
• Micron faces near-term risks from Apple-B2B and post-earnings drift.
