포모를 이기는 주도주 선점 전략ㅣ차영주 와이즈경제연구소 소장 [집중 오늘의 주식]

Summary

Cha Young-joo, Director of Wise Economic Research Institute, discusses market volatility driven by FOMO and reflexive buying in Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. He advises investors to hold leading stocks (semiconductors, power infrastructure) through corrections and to trim non-leading sectors like shipbuilding, defense, nuclear, and batteries to raise cash for buying dips. He warns of a short-term correction but sees it as an opportunity to accumulate high-conviction AI-related names.

• Market volatility is rising due to excessive FOMO and reflexive buying concentrated in Samsung and SK hynix.
• Samsung Electronics and SK hynix should be held; their fundamentals (AI, earnings, low PER) remain strong.
• A short-term correction is likely, possibly filling the first gap at 240,000 won level for Samsung.
• Power infrastructure is a core AI beneficiary and should not be sold despite near-term volatility.
• Investors should partially reduce positions in shipbuilding, defense, nuclear, and secondary batteries.
• Cash raised from trimming should be used to buy leading stocks on dips.
• The AI momentum theme remains intact and supports semiconductor and power infrastructure sectors.
• Speculative buzz in non-leading stocks like secondary batteries lacks reflexive cohesion compared to semiconductors.
