Ideas
Semiconductor upcycle remains in growth phase.
NVIDIA chip sales are increasing, GPU prices are rising, and ARM/Intel executives point to supply shortages, showing demand is strong while supply remains constrained. This keeps the semiconductor upcycle intact, benefits HBM and the broader value chain, and the industry is still in a growth phase rather than maturity.
Stay long and buy dips.
Oil prices and Treasury yields are falling, global growth concerns were eased, chip demand news is strong, and futures/options expiry volatility should not derail the uptrend. The speaker has repeatedly advocated staying long and using dips to accumulate rather than trading every macro headline.
BOJ yen risk only if rapid.
The BOJ meeting is a key event. A yen move to the mid-140s or an extremely rapid strengthening could reignite carry-trade unwind fears, but if the BOJ hike and pace are as expected, market impact should be limited.
Avoid Hyundai Motor until breakout.
Hyundai Motor's chart is in reverse alignment and failed at prior resistance; it needs to hold the 323k-330k won low and cannot be considered a trend trade until it breaks above 460k won. If support fails, the 200k won range could open, and robot-related news has not lifted the stock.
NAVER remains in unattractive box.
NAVER failed to break 220k-230k won and fell back to the 190k won area, leaving it in a box with downside open and little attraction until a clear breakout.
Robot reducers are safer common denominator.
Robot stocks are numerous and volatile, so if picking individual names is burdensome, robot reducers and actuators are a common-denominator way to participate. It may not deliver a jackpot, but it offers less risk of being hurt.
MLCC rotation may follow Samsung Electro-Mechanics.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics is strong, and its MLCC leadership could spark a rotation across capacitor and semiconductor-component names. The speaker prefers looking at MLCC-related rotation starting from Samsung Electro-Mechanics.
AI data center power demand favors wires.
AI data center expansion and efficiency demands are driving power infrastructure, especially electric wires and transformers. US legislation is supportive, Gaon Cable is strong, and names like Daehan Electric Wire, LS, and Sanil Electric can rotate higher if box resistance breaks; ultra-high-voltage transformer stocks are down but building a base.

Battery sector supported by lithium futures.
The battery sector looks supported because Tesla, Albemarle, and QuantumScape were strong and lithium carbonate futures rose, so the group may not be weak even if it remains a watch-list theme.
AI networking bottleneck favors optical and substrates.
The AI data center networking bottleneck is pushing demand for efficiency solutions such as optical communications, glass substrates, and sockets. Telecom-equipment and optical names are strong, and this theme can broaden into network and power infrastructure.
d'Alba Global needs breakout or breakdown.
d'Alba Global is not in an uptrend. It needs to break 180k-190k won to open upside; if it fails, downside remains. No new buying is advised now, and a deeper pullback toward 140k won would be the only interesting level. Cosmetics were hit by the sharp fall in the exchange rate.
PharmaResearch chart unattractive and hard to hold.
PharmaResearch's chart is unattractive and difficult to hold; he describes it as requiring a Buddhist mindset, implying it is not a clean investment setup now.
Oil likely falls to $90s.
The speaker expects WTI crude oil to fall into the $90s from around $100, which would ease inflation pressure and help the stock market.
Prefer SK hynix over Samsung.
SK hynix is the preferred semiconductor pick because its chart has smoother upside once short-term resistance breaks, while Samsung Electronics faces overhead supply at every 10,000 won level. Chip and HBM demand support the relative preference.
Korean semiconductor equipment attractive but volatile.
Korean semiconductor equipment and materials stocks are attractive but very volatile and hard to select, so the speaker suggests an ETF as a practical way to gain exposure if stock picking is difficult.
Doosan Enerbility slower than nuclear peers.
Doosan Enerbility is positively exposed to nuclear energy and Europe's nuclear discussion, and its trend is up and tradable, but it lags faster small nuclear names. For large-cap nuclear exposure it is acceptable, though he prefers semiconductors on a medium-term view.
Small nuclear names have higher beta.
When the nuclear theme moves, small nuclear names such as KEPCO E&C and Woori Technology tend to rise much faster than Doosan Enerbility, making them higher-beta expressions of the nuclear theme even though he still prefers semiconductors for large-cap exposure.
