Mo Kim’s (32) room looks like a fund manager’s office. On one large monitor, the stock company’s home trading system (HTS) market price window, and on the other screen, YouTube stock broadcasts are turned on and the group chat room screen is opened to share stock information. Whenever information appears in the chat room, the stock price and news are checked and the timing of the trading is decided.
It’s like the daily life of a full-time investor, but he is a 6-year-old employee. Mr. Kim said, “As the volatility of large-cap stocks has increased recently, we can’t take our eyes off the marketplace.” “There are many cases of rising and falling 10% in an hour. I have.”
Recently, there is a wind of’home house (在宅) big’ among office workers. This is a change that occurred as the spread of telecommuting due to Corona 19. When I went to work, I had to go to the bathroom and check the stock market with the Mobile Trading System (MTS), but now I have an environment where I can freely check stock information at home. Some companies have been issued a notice to refrain from investing in stocks during intensive working hours.
Lim, 33, an 8-year-old office worker, seemed to be riding a roller coaster on the 8th. This is because the stock price of Samsung Electronics started to surge in the afternoon. He, who did not have a large portion of Samsung Electronics, missed this timing and went into chase purchase immediately. He also contacted officials in the middle and middle financial investment industry to ask about the prospect of the stock market and whether it is time to buy Samsung Electronics. Mr. Lim said, “After I started working from home, I made a chase purchase in an uneasy mind depending on the market price, so the amount of investment has increased by 50% compared to before.”
There were times when working from home made commuting time, and this period was used as an opportunity for self-development. Shim (31), who started investing in stocks with extra money when he was unable to travel or shopping, said, “Except during business hours, I turn on a YouTube channel like a radio broadcast and listen to lectures on the Internet on how to read financial statements.” It seems to be helpful for self-development because I study about companies in the time I throw away for them.”
