00:30What does that argument mean for your portfolio?
00:32It's Monday, September 7th.
00:34Let's look at what this means for retail investors in Korea.
00:37Kospi has been stuck between 6,500 and 6,900 for weeks, unable to reclaim the 7,000 level
00:44it last closed above on July 23rd.
00:47Individual investors who chased the rally toward 9,000 points earlier this year are now
00:52selling to break even or cut losses.
00:55Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix buybacks have quietly absorbed most of that selling, keeping
01:02the index from falling further.
01:04Here's what the numbers show.
01:06Retail investors sold 2.92 trillion won of Kospi shares in the first four days of September.
01:12Foreigners sold 1.87 trillion won, and institutions sold 81.3 billion won.
01:19Cash sitting in investor deposit accounts, the typical fuel for new retail buying, fell below
01:25100 trillion won.
01:27Samsung Asset Management's Lim Tae Hyuk says Korea's forward earnings multiple trades below
01:32five times versus around 20 times in the U.S., making it one of the cheapest major markets
01:38on record.
01:39He recommends broad-index ETFs, like the Kospi 200 over individual sector bets, while the
01:44market works through this phase.
01:46Separately, HANA Securities is raising $300 million overseas to push its capital base above
01:527 trillion won for the first time.
01:54And Korean retail investors remain the single largest net buyer of SpaceX stock abroad, holding
02:00$241 million in shares even as the company works through a wave of post-IPO lockup expirations.
02:07So what does this mean for you?
02:09Earlier, we said every investor type is selling Kospi at once.
02:13Here's what that actually means for you.
02:15It's a supply and demand standoff, not a verdict on company earnings.
02:19And Lim's valuation case suggests patients may be rewarded more than a rush to sell.
02:24If you're building a position, index-level ETFs let you participate without betting on
02:29which stock leads any rebound.
02:31And if you hold SpaceX shares, watch the November lockup release, the largest still to come this
02:36year.
02:37What to watch?
02:38The SK Hynix buyback program, which ends in mid-October and removes the market's main
02:43support.
02:45Investor deposit levels, a signal of whether retail buying power is recovering.
02:48And SpaceX's November lockup expiration, the biggest single unlock remaining in 2026.
