Same formula, same taste—I seriously suspect that Chinese regulators have migrated to the Korean Securities and Exchange Commission! In May 2015, China’s A-share market underwent deleveraging, triggering a sharp market plunge. This was followed by the introduction of a circuit breaker mechanism, which accelerated the decline. Eventually, short selling was banned, and margin trading was changed from T+0 to T+1—yet the market continued to fall, ultimately losing exactly 50% of its value within a year. Wow, if I hadn’t lived through this ordeal in China’s A-share market, I might have actually applauded the Korean Securities and Exchange Commission! 🤣

Korea thinking of banning short selling?

Watching the Jadoo liquidation of over $3 million live on stream makes it clear that the futures market doesn’t spare anyone. The KOSPI dropped nearly 10%, with Samsung and SK Hynix briefly falling more than 12%—just a little too much leverage, and your account vanishes faster than you can catch your breath. Big profits look tempting, but surviving long-term in the market is all about capital management. Don’t let one bad trade take away your right to keep playing.

RT: According to Crypto-reposted data, over 360,000 margin accounts in South Korea have been forcibly liquidated, with 62% belonging to individuals under 35, according to Citi.

Today, a funeral home owner from Korea messaged me saying this was the best summer since he opened his business. This year, his funeral home has been fully booked every day; he used all his profits to install additional cremators, earning in a single transaction what he previously made in five years. People are jumping from buildings everywhere—just a week’s revenue is enough to afford a vacation to Jeju Island, and the backlog of bodies awaiting cremation extends to the end of the year. The day before yesterday, while walking the streets of Seoul, everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked up at a person falling from the sky. He said he felt happy, as if his industry had entered a golden age.

$EWY The Korean etf, is down 4 straight days. It has not gone 5+ straight days since Aug 2025. Also the RSI is at the lowest since April 2025 Liberation Day lows. Or pretty much the start of this monster rally. The KOSPI also had back to back to back limit down days I believe. It’s getting crazy. But an oversold relief rally would not surprise me.

Famous Korean streamer and trader Jadoo was just liquidated on live stream, wiping out over $3 million in seconds. The incident occurred amid a sharp market downturn in Korea, as the KOSPI dropped nearly 10% in a single day, with Samsung and SK Hynix briefly falling over 12%. The last time Sun heard a scream like that was in the obstetrics ward...

Meta has completely crashed my Google ads. This is really it—I’m done for. I can’t even imagine how Koreans are holding up today. They’ve reached the final threshold of their leverage. What do I do? What should I do?
