AI summary
Executive Al announces the start of quarter 4 on October (month 10) 1 and explains the PCE and CPI formulas and adjustments to core measures. He criticizes the inflation index as deceptive because core inflation still came in at 3% despite reducing the influence of semiconductors and fees, and reports that the yield on Treasury securities with a maturity of 10 years rose to 5.28%. He believes that, unlike Powell, Warsh will not cooperate, that interest rates determined by institutions will continue rising, and that there may be opportunities in bonds. He points out that Micron's strong earnings were already priced in and that semiconductors and data centers face physical limits, unlike AI developers. After overheating in quarters 1~2 and a sharp cooling in quarter 3, he describes quarter 4 as a search for fair prices and advocates watching without rushing. He explains the disconnect between earnings expectations for Samsung and Hynix and the concentration of attention on share buyback news, and cites principles of buying after a 2% decline and following the market. He discusses the Fed's 3 occasions, Korea's 4% interest rate, and strategies for individual stocks, the KOSPI index, and KOSDAQ 888, while anticipating a confusing quarter 4 amid Trump's lame-duck status. All directional outlooks are the speaker's conditional judgments, not definitive predictions of short-term prices.
