Individual investors' FOMO spreads as the KOSPI breaks 7,000 for the first time ever
KOSPI breaks 7,500—review your investment strategy amid strength in major semiconductor stocks We take a close look at individual investors' sense of exclusion and their 고민 over whether to enter
As the KOSPI climbed past the 7,000 mark for the first time ever and rose as high as 7,500, a sense of exclusion is growing among individual investors who have been unable to keep up with the sharp rally centered on large semiconductor stocks.
On the 7th, the KOSPI closed at 7,490.05, up 1.43% from the previous trading day, setting a new record high once again. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix also both hit alltime highs, and securities firms have successively raised their targets for the two stocks and for the KOSPI.
However, with more stocks falling than rising, some individual investors voiced not only a sense of relative deprivation but also anxiety over whether it is already too late to get in now. In the market, there are also views that more funds may flow into large semiconductor stocks and related ETFs.
