Daily strategy (1007 Wed)

In the daily strategy for October (month 10) 7, the speaker says today's session feels like a Thursday, with Samsung Electronics' preliminary earnings tomorrow and the market closed on Friday. U.S. indexes are at record highs, but memory semiconductors are weak, and Samsung Electronics is falling in Korean premarket trading. The speaker reports that the market is focusing on semiconductor materials, components, and equipment suppliers rather than finished-product manufacturers. These suppliers are good companies, but they feel overheated, like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in May (month 5). The speaker warns that investors should enter only if they can cut the position and exit quickly, and that their small market capitalizations make the period of gains short. For Samsung's earnings, the speaker says 98 trillion would mean a decline, 106~110 trillion would be a respectable showing, and a decline despite 120 trillion would be the worst sell-on-the-news scenario, urging caution by citing the manufacturing discount and Micron's example. The speaker notes that financial institutions are keeping their year-end forecasts high while lowering their October (month 10) forecasts, suggesting that their actual short-term outlook is not very bullish. If the market cannot clear 7 thousand today, buying tomorrow is also an option. The speaker recommends taking one's time rather than rushing, with buying benchmarks of 25~26 ten-thousand won for Samsung Electronics and 6,600~6,700 for the KOSPI. All directional outlooks are the speaker's conditional judgments, not definitive short-term price predictions.
