Samyang Foods rises on Buldak steady sales.
Samyang Foods should trend upward over the long term because Buldak Bokkeum Myeon remains a steady seller; if the stock falls, investors who share that conviction can add rather than panic. He uses it as an example of buying only with a clear thesis and accepting drawdowns.

Avoid chasing silver after gold rally.
He has warned against chasing silver after gold's sharp rally because silver is much more volatile than gold and tends to fall harder in corrections, while commodities are difficult to value and he does not invest in them. The bullish $300 per ounce analyst call cited in the article does not change his caution.

Samsung foundry recovery can lift market cap.
Samsung Electronics is turning around its foundry business after reportedly securing Qualcomm's 2nm AP production, following Tesla's AI5/AI6 and Nvidia/Intel legacy orders; if Samsung's foundry share recovers from about 7% toward 15-20%, its market cap could rise by roughly 200-300 trillion won to close part of the gap with TSMC, and the market is already responding positively to the foundry normalization.

Buy quality blue chips in panic selloffs.
He repeatedly advises buying high-quality blue-chip stocks during panic selloffs such as the April tariff crash, calling it a basic wealth-building principle: the best time to buy quality is when fear creates a major market dislocation.

US-listed ETFs have Korean tax advantage.
The Korean tax system treats domestic-listed overseas ETFs as dividend income, which can trigger comprehensive income tax, health-insurance premium increases, and ISA disqualification, while US-listed ETFs and direct US stocks are taxed as capital gains with a basic deduction and do not affect ISA or health premiums. This tax asymmetry favors US-listed vehicles and pushes Korean investors overseas.
