As the KOSPI loses its strength and is threatened with the 3,000 line, Samsung Electronics, which has been an intensive purchase by individuals, is also falling helplessly. Samsung Electronics, which has been running toward ‘100,000 electrons’, has stopped rising on the last 5 trading days, and has either taken a stand or is showing a decline. The new year’s rally is creating a different atmosphere from the New Year’s rally, with all of the high-ranking stocks that individual investors intensively bought amid the selling bombs of institutions and foreigners combined.
According to the Korea Exchange on the 18th, the KOSPI closed at 3013.93, which was 71.97 points (2.33%) lower than the previous trading day. In the stock market only this year, institutions and foreigners poured out 12,165.4 billion won and 238.8 billion won, respectively, but individuals responded by investing 12 trillion won in capital and started a so-called’war of money’. In an unprecedented bull market, individual investors plunged into the stock market. On the 11th, the KOSPI recorded an all-time high at 3266.23 during the intraday, but it was eventually swayed by agencies and foreigners’ selling market. Even the 3000 line is in jeopardy.
Ant report cards are grim. This is because most of the top stocks that ants have been intensively buying this year recorded losses. Individuals bought Samsung Electronics (including preferred stocks) for over 7 trillion won. This is more than half (58.33%) of the purchase amount of KOSPI. Following ▲ LG Electronics (614.6 billion won) ▲ Celltrion (604.8 billion won) ▲ Hyundai Mobis (5984 billion won) ▲ Hyundai Motors (577.1 billion won).
However, Samsung Electronics, which has been buying intensively, is marching on’blue light’ every day. When the stock price rose to 96,800 won during the intraday on the 11th, it reached a high of 1,749 trillion won alone. The uptrend broke in one day. The stock price, which had been weak since the 12th, fell more than 3% on the same day. It is 12.19% down from the high. On the same day, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was sentenced to reciprocation for the destruction of “Gukjeong Nongdan” and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison.
Hyundai Motor, which continued its uptrend through cooperation with Apple and electric vehicles, also fell 16.60% compared to 289,000 won (11th), which rose sharply to 240,000 won, and Hyundai Mobis also fell 20.12% during the same period.
LG Electronics and Celltrion are also expected to record negative returns, resulting in significant losses from Donghak ants.
Dae-Seok Kang, a researcher at Eugene Investment & Securities, said, “In the end, the increased volatility and reduced buying capacity of individual investors are highly likely to act as a burden on the market.” The KOSPI uptrend will continue, centering on marginalized industries,” he predicted.
