Korean Stocks Swing Wildly: Are Korea ETFs Still Worth Buying?
South Korea’s stock market has experienced an extremely volatile year. From the beginning of 2026 through June 22, the KOSPI staged a powerful bull run, reaching an all-time high of 9,114.55 on June 22. However, Korean equities then entered a technical bear market, falling all the way to 5,593 on July 30, representing a 39% drawdown from the peak. Since then, the KOSPI has rebounded sharply. By August 18, the index had recovered to 6,913, up 23% from its July low. So why has the Korean stock market experienced such an extreme cycle of surge, collapse, and technical rebound? Why did Korean stocks rally so strongly from the beginning of the year to June 22? I believe there were two main reasons. 1. The AI supercycle Since the beginning of the year, the global AI supply chain has entered a su

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ vs $Cerebras Systems(CBRS)$$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is far cheaper but is it a better bet today? For now, yes. But let's see where $Cerebras Systems(CBRS)$ can get to when it's through this early IPO period. Firstly, $Cerebras Systems(CBRS)$ valuation was insane. It came in with an IPO that was 20x oversubscribed and then hit ~90x FY26 revenue estimates on day 1. With the stock now trading ~$52B on $900M in FY26 numbers...the valuation is still insane at ~57x 2026 forecasts. But we're also trad
Just want to add to this $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ math: E-Commerce: ARR is currently $547B. It's likely worth anywhere between 1 -1.8x sales which puts the e-comm valuation ~$800B. Digital Ads: FY26 revs is heading towards $80B+ with operating margins likely at +50% which puts operating income +$40B. I think a conservative multiple on this is in the 20x EBIT range which values the ads business ~$800B as well. That's a total of $1.6T in e-comm and ads. Overall valuation is $2.8T which means ~$1.2T is available for: -> AWS: Likely worth +$3T by 2030 -> Amazon Leo -> Zoox -> One Medical -> Prime Video -> Equity stakes
GOLD: The Area Around $4,362 May Mark the End of the Rally
Gold Technical Analysis: $Gold - main 2612(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Currently, the 4-hour candlestick chart is showing a bearish downtrend, heading straight toward the lower Bollinger Band at $4,320.

Everyone begged for a $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.CC)$ dip. It's here, 50% off, and nobody's buying. $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.CC)$ is back above 64k, up from the 58k low it tagged in June. It's sitting almost 50% under the October ATH near 126k; the exact discount everyone said they wanted. If bulls can push it back above 74k it'll signal a more risk-on environment for crypto and broader markets as a whole. If it stays under 74k crypto will continue to consolidate. If $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.CC)$ fades under 60k and trends towards 50k, it could trigger another larger selloff within crypto. Key Catalysts ETF flow reversal: S

Xiaomi jumps nearly 7% post-earnings. Time for a turnaround?
Today, $小米集团-W(01810)$ stock price surged, at one point rising over 5%, driven by a surprising counter-trend growth in its smartphone business gross margin. Previously, against the backdrop of high memory prices and a pressured consumer terminal market, market expectations for Xiaomi's smartphone business were relatively low. After the earnings report was released, the numbers showed that Xiaomi's smartphone revenue declined 7.5% year-over-year, and shipments also decreased significantly by 26.5% compared to the same period last year. However, the primary reason for this was the company's optimization of its product mix, which involved cutting shipments of mid-to-low-end models. The effects of this product premiumization strategy
