“US Government urges $AAPL not to buy Chinese memory chips. $MU, $SKHY, and Samsung are happy to hear this... Hilariously enough, CXMT/YMTC is price hiking too, so it's not exactly "cheap Chinese memory that floods the market". Apple once upon a time actually had extreme supplier leverage before the AI boom.” post →

| 2026-07-17T06:10:13+00:00 | @babybluecream Yeah, my $EWY longs crashed quite a bit. I still think the operating income that SK Hynix and Samsung produces will catch up to the MC eventually, so I’m holding my memory positions. Regardless, not a fun time to watch Asian markets from Nikkei to Taiwan to Kospi drop so much. → · 198 likes · 38,580 views |
| 2026-07-08 | @starlightrvrie Yep still holding $AXTI. And a lot of my older thesis like $EWY that are up hundreds of percent. Even if I don’t mention it as much anymore → · 97 likes · 23,320 views |
| 2026-06-26T09:50:52 | OFC I'm aware. But I'm personally sleeping comfortably since I have conviction in my hyperscaler mapping research with $SIVE. And yes, I still have my million+ share position. Not sure if people realize this: but I'm only here to share my thoughts/ideas. I don't control market volatility, what d… → · 2063 likes · 768,670 views |
| 2026-06-26 | FYI, I posted ideas about $AXTI at $15, $AAOI at $30, $TSEM at $115, $LITE $300, $MU $300, $SNDK $400, $EWY $110, $SIVE $4. $IQE $13, $SOI $44 and so on. So when they finally have a massive correction due to macro drop the ideas are wrong? And most are still up a few hundred percent. TW CPO names… → · 205 likes · 28,846 views |
| 2026-06-20T11:52:49 | I think u must be new here. Many of my ideas get intense backlash at the start, especially the more original they are. $AXTI - endless hate to the point I got banned from the $RDDT WSB forum. They thought it was some scam Chinese company, but Reuters, Epiwafer company earnings, and institutions … → · 2258 likes · 724,798 views |
| 2026-06-19T12:19:38 | I think something to highlight also is not all my ideas are green, especially on short term timeframes! My core three themes are Neoclouds (Energy), Memory, and Photonics. And I'm glad I chose the literal top performers for each segment from $NBIS to $EWY leaps to $SIVE. However, I still have p… → · 2374 likes · 853,958 views |
| 2026-06-19 | @KristupasSimon2 Went long on Samsung through $EWY earlier on. Still think it’s cheap given operating income forecasts. https://t.co/l0VvosFlVE → · 74 likes · 17,601 views |
| 2026-06-18T14:54:06 | Just a reminder: 99% of X was bearish on memory 3 months ago...

| 2026-06-16 | @schwabdeeznuts Yeah my $EWY leaps are up a similar amount, but I did 2028 dates. Pretty insane gains on the South Korean index! → · 84 likes · 26,341 views |
| 2026-06-15T14:02:20 | I’ve written a thesis on these 3 themes early on: Neoclouds, Photonics, and Memory. Now, it’s fun to sit back and watch all my thesis ideas play out from $AAOI to $EWY to $NBIS. Even got my warnings right too, $IREN is still stagnant due to the $6B of constant selling → · 2348 likes · 481,134 views |
| 2026-05-25 | $RPI, close to ~3x returns. Off the media branded "Meme Stock". I think after retail saw institutions bear post my thesis posts. Then ended up paper handing $AXTI, then $RPI, then $IQE, then $EWY, then $SNDK, then $AAOI, then $SOI. And them watch them all go up 3x-15x+ after institutions bou… → · 895 likes · 363,582 views |

| 2026-03-24 | @HeLiuLeo So $EWY as a proxy has gotten a tad worse due to current devaluation from Oil/War tensions. So individually holding SK Hynix might be better as of now. However, I still think Samsung/SK Hynix outperformance will carry $EWY index regardless so I’m personally holding → · 29 likes · 5,253 views |
| 2026-02-24 | It’s just an endless sea of green. SK Hynix, Samsung (and likely $EWY) are all time highs today. AI is bringing generational wealth to the future owners of compute (Power, Bottlenecks, and Semis). https://t.co/igFzY9whEB → · 786 likes · 83,188 views |
| 2026-02-24 | $MU - ended up liking SK Hynix more but safer made in America play $AXTI long way to go, 1 year wait until extreme shortage hits. Prob my favorite in photonics sector for return potential $EWY - tail end of Vega expansion, IV will likely send it a tad higher. But if you’re buying calls do it becau… → · 43 likes · 4,745 views |
| 2026-02-23 | @exitvalley I’m holding until 2027 or 2028 we’ll see. The IV increase was just an added benefit instead of directly holding more SK Hynix or going margin on $FLKR or $EWY → · 15 likes · 7,935 views |

| 2026-02-23 | $XLU with OTM is likely to move a lot more both ways due to low IV.

| 2026-02-23 | Feels like a lot of people misunderstood the DD in this post: Main point: $EWY IV will likely stay elevated. Currently realized is probably in the high 60’s, low 70’s. Long term likely settles ~55% because: Pass through concentration in SK Hynix and Samsung is enormous despite any re-weightin… → · 256 likes · 154,818 views |

| 2026-02-23 | @Michael_Tran_90 Make that decision yourself! I posted an update on $EWY volatility expansion recently and I do see KOSPI, SK Hynix/Samsung being strongly rerated over the next two years. → · 4 likes · 1,246 views |
| 2026-02-22 | @Yannis_ko $XLU is more of a structural delta (directional long) play from power/grid investments and expansion. $EWY was a call on volatility expansion from mispricing. → · 17 likes · 3,231 views |
| 2026-02-22 | I still can’t believe I called for the volatility expansion of South Korea’s National Index with $EWY. And I got it right. One week later: Implied Volatility increased by 16% across the board (still going too).

| 2026-02-22 | 2028 IV for $EWY will likely go much higher (~44% right now). Realized should be priced around ~65-68%+. So, 2028 OTM leap call value may double again from volatility Vega Expansion alone. Most people don’t this but top holdings include: 1.

| 2026-02-21 | Makes sense though, 2028 leaps were extremely mispriced, not short dated options. Would probably be a 200% gain alone off IV expansion off 2028 OTM $EWY options. It’s caught up a decent amount but would probably double again once 2x leveraged ETFs and 10x leveraged SK Hynix and Samsung perps gai… → · 6 likes · 2,836 views |
| 2026-02-21 | Probably. For the IV arbitrage, it’s on the tail end on IV expansion but still a good opportunity with $EWY. IV 45% does not move 6% a day, especially before 10x perps and 2x leverage ETFs come out. That being said Korean index will likely keep going up and maybe double.

| 2026-02-21 | @jflood215 Anytime, I like to publish my ideas for free for anyone to read! IV could easily expand to ~60% given the volatility, so calls might double again off IV expansion (not including $EWY price going up) → · 45 likes · 5,270 views |
| 2026-02-20 | @diyinvestguy No Micron’s IV is priced correctly. My only argument was $EWY IV is off and benefits from Vega expansion over time as Korean index goes up from memory → · 14 likes · 3,676 views |
| 2026-02-20 | IV is a measurement of implied volatility. You can kinda eyeball test it based on the chart. $EWY moves more in every day than companies with volatility (eg. $MRVL 55%) does a within a week. Sometimes volatility is priced wrong and if you spot that, your calls go up faster than normal when marke… → · 38 likes · 5,779 views |

| 2026-02-20 | $EWY looks like it's about to get more volatile. Market makers might not be pricing in leap option IV correctly as IV may expand past 55%.
