Since the 1950s, when the Korean Exchange opened due to the recent increase in demand for the medical sector and the growth of the non-face-to-face industry due to Corona 19, the KOSPI index has surpassed 3000, breaking a record high.
As a result, the stock investment craze among the general public also blew up, and the number of those who naturally invest in large-scale high-end stocks also surged.
Among these, by far the popularity of Samsung Electronics’ stock was the best. On the 18th of last month, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong was sentenced to two years and six months in prison, and the stock price plummeted, but it also rose to the 90,000 won level in anticipation of improving the semiconductor industry, such as cooperation with Tesla.
Since then, the stock has repeatedly fluctuated, but Samsung Electronics’ stock, which is considered the safest, is still the stock of the most interest to ants.
How about now? Contrary to the expectations of many, the rate of return turned out to be not very good.
According to the Korea Exchange on the 8th, this year, individuals net bought common shares of Samsung Electronics worth 11,359 trillion won.
Adding up to 2,516 trillion won of preferred stocks, it was found that Samsung Electronics’ stocks alone amounted to 13,4106 billion won.
This is well over half of the total amount of 23,559.6 billion won net purchases by individual investors in the securities market.
In the first week of last month, an individual’s net purchase of common shares of Samsung Electronics was 2.5 trillion won. The second week followed by 3,850 billion won, the third week of 1.4 trillion won, and the fourth week of 2.86 trillion won, which led to a steady buying trend, ranking the most net-purchased stocks for 5 consecutive weeks.
However, the yield was poor. This year’s average purchase price of Samsung Electronics is about 86,500 won, and the closing price on the 5th exceeded 83,500 won. The return on average price is -3.5%.
The main reasons for this decline are the decline in the KOSPI share price due to the lack of management by Vice Chairman Lee and net selling by foreigners.
On the bulletin board related to Samsung Electronics’ stock, “Aren’t the 90-floor brothers breathing?” A number of posts from investors who suffered losses such as “I also bought over 90,000 won” have been posted.
In such a situation, some experts came up with a positive outlook. This is because the price of semiconductors such as D-Lab will rise given the increased demand for telecommuting, increased cloud demand, and increased demand for edge computing (a method that processes part of data through distributed small servers) from telecommunications companies.
