@Barchart Has there been a big unwinding since last month? I know the correction was a tough one
@Barchart Directionally this tracks - Korean household net worth just posted its strongest equity-driven gain in years, and KOSPI's record sidecar activity in 2026 confirms retail participation is structurally different from the last decade
@Barchart Definitely not updated for the 2026 drawdown
@Barchart Retail flood of that magnitude in a five-year window usually means a generation of investors whose entire frame of reference is a low-rate bull market. First real drawdown cycle without QE backstop is when you find out how sticky that capital actually is.
Investing in stocks for the long term is one of the best wealth-building tools available. Leverage trading is just leveraged gambling, it can make a few people rich fast and will make most of them poor even faster. The Koreans going “all-in” with cash are fine. The ones loading up on margin are the ones who’ll get wrecked when the music stops.
