결말을 알아도 할 수밖에 없는

Finance-focused summary (markets, investing, portfolio/risk, performance)

Key market context & recommendations

KOSPI / KOSDAQ momentum

• The week is described as strong, but with narrowing leadership.
• Much of the upside was concentrated in semiconductors—especially Samsung Electronics and SK hynix—while other sectors lagged.
• KOSPI
  • Weekly performance: +4.73%
  • Caution: it has not yet reached a new all-time high, so the speaker recommends avoiding blind chasing.
• KOSDAQ
  • Strong intraday move.
  • Outlook: further upside is expected next week, but the rally may be less stable and driven by traders/manipulators.

Sector rotation / factor leadership

• Core strategy: “Top priority is semiconductors.”
• Preference is to rotate capital away from weak/lagging names and buy semiconductors if capital is available.
• If the market is not broadening (only semis are rising), the speaker suggests:
  • Avoid/reduce weighting in struggling sectors
  • Prefer buying the index for broader exposure, then reallocate into semiconductors

Short-term caution about leverage

• Leverage is repeatedly framed as dangerous: when it drops, it drops by double.
• Leveraged products require completion of training/education before trading; otherwise orders may not work properly.

New leveraged products & timing (KODEX)

• Leveraged products listed on KODEX: May 27 (next Wednesday)
• Underlying themes:
  • Single-stock leverage on SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics
  • Market framing: claimed as Korea’s first single-stock leverage
  • Each product provides double leverage (not 3x)
• Explicit guidance:
  • If someone wants double exposure, the speaker suggests these products—but only after training.
• Risk framing:
  • Leverage increases volatility and can lead to severe downside.

Macro & policy catalysts mentioned

• National Growth Fund (Korea)

  • Speaker states it was launched “today” in the segment and notes a partial allocation.
  • Tax benefits mentioned:
    • Investments may be treated as not income, enabling income tax deductions
  • “Government guarantee” concept is referenced as -2% return (as framed by the speaker)

• Veterans Day / US market closure

  • Next Monday: US markets likely closed due to Veterans Day
  • Expect quiet conditions

• Interest rate expectations

  • A possible policy rate signal is discussed for the “next 22nd meeting” (speaker’s claim)
  • Notes: short-term rates appear to be rising more than long-term rates

---

Currency / rates (USD/KRW) & technical level

• USD/KRW

  • Speaker calls it “strange” that USD/KRW rises even while stocks rebound.
  • Possible mechanism: a flow/rollover effect around end of May / mid-June (foreign FX conversion and repatriation mechanics)

• Technical upside level

  • 1,530 won is presented as a key threshold:
    • Breaking above is described as “door open” for further upside

• Gold

  • Gold price is expected to rise “once or twice”, linked to liquidity and the FX technical level.

Performance metrics / numbers explicitly cited

• KOSPI weekly

  • +4.73%

  • By May 22: down ~30% in two weeks
  • Themes mentioned: potential links to power/data center demand
  • Also raises concern that power supply is still insufficient

• Index / market-cap scale (order-of-magnitude framing)

  • KOSPI market cap: about ~700 trillion KRW
  • KOSDAQ: about ~7,000 trillion KRW (subtitle implication)

Methodology / frameworks shared

1) Leverage product framework (how to use & prerequisites)

• Complete specific training/education before trading.
• Leverage products can amplify losses—downside may double when the underlying drops.

2) Market allocation framework (practical portfolio behavior)

If leadership is concentrated (e.g., semiconductors only):

• Avoid/underweight lagging sectors
• Prefer index buying for broad exposure
• Reallocate freed capital into semiconductors

3) Profit-taking principle

• Emphasis: realize profits when the stock surges
• Avoid holding too long and giving back gains

---

Explicit numbers + guidance tied to actions/cautions

• Consider entering leveraged semis due to:
  • Late-entry concerns for Samsung/SK (“it’s a bit late”) and/or limited capital constraints
• Avoid chasing KOSDAQ blindly
  • Focus on large-cap KOSDAQ indices (e.g., KOSDAQ 150, KOSDAQ 50)
  • Warning: foreigners may not be broadly buying KOSDAQ
• Profit-taking & risk
  • Take profits when the market is overheating or gains are narrow-led
• FX caution
  • USD/KRW may move adversely; structural rate response is described as difficult due to growth concerns
