i think hes saying kospi does not have KR premarket, the AH in our markets is their premarket, and so we dont see that return reflected in the KOSPI index

I can't believe KR went all in on inverse 2x ETFs only for memory to go V-shaped. Someone really hates the 발기부전인, 고추 작은, 할아버지들

GneissFrog

The pathway isn't operating at full capacity (exchanging SKHY for KR:000660), so there's been a substantial bottleneck on the arbitrage. Between some investors having a preference for USD denominated exposure, a period of rapid strengthening in KRW vs USD throughout July, and general volatility in the FX market (BoK and BoJ interventions), if you add all these up together the end result is a relative clusterfuck with pricing inefficiencies and hiccups that would normally not be present. On paper, yeah, that is an unreasonable premium for something that is supposed to have a straight-forward conversion process and you are right to want to capture that via arbitrage, but the reality is that it is a headache of a situation to manage and price properly because there are so many moving parts.

ScarletHarpy93

MU just refuses to die. You can't kill a bunch of overleveraged KR positions that are already dead. Fuck your retirements 할머니.

HairlessBandicoot

My one and only KR stock pick that I bothered researching went up today and the past few days lol. But was too lazy to buy before that. So there are some probably domestic hedges as well

iamthestorm

I think it's likely simpler. You've got a shit ton of Korean retail investors buying highly leveraged KR products on margin. As the earnings were "disappointing", it slowly took on a life as its own as downward pressure cleaned out these highly leveraged accounts, then it kept going lower while more and more highly leveraged accounts got fucked, which pushed KOSPI lower and repeating this cycle.

RuleSafe6767

Right now it's just margin and leverage liquidity draining from the korean companies which is just a small leak in NDX, but the next thing to watch out for will be "Contagion" and more unwinding specifically in American companies. Not sure it will happen though, this seems isolated to KR.

Budget-Ocelots

The country is basically run by a few companies. Samsung, Hyudai, SK Holding, KIA, LG, Hanwha. Nowadays, if Samsung or SK Holding is down, the whole market will crash. And this is the fault of the KR government. KR is such a small country to have its own stock market imo. And remember, these companies are built from taxpayers during the war. The fricken government still decides who can get federal loans and tax break...Shit is just full of insider trading and corruption. So it isn't a surprise that Koreans are getting fucked over because they know the game is rigged, and the rug can be pulled at any time. But the high is high, and the low is the low. They can't help themselves to fall for the same corruption.

This is why the KR President had to step in and pry the leverage from the Koreans hands

Do you realize that SKHY KR doesn't just go up during KR market hours, and that DRAM was up 7( not6)% because SKHY KR was up in their version of premarket/overnight market?

vairpods

SKHY was up 27% yesterday and DRAM was only up 6%. But that’s because the US SKHY isn’t tied to DRAM yet, right? So SKHY in Korea was up 8% yesterday, and DRAM is down 2% premarket? “Oh that’s because SKY is also down 6% premarket”. I thought the US DRAM isn’t tied to DRAM yet… So basically: \- When US SKHY moon, DRAM doesn’t benefit. \- When KR SKHY moon, DRAM doesn’t benefit. \- When either US or KR SKHY tank, DRAM mirrors. Puts it is.

vairpods

SKHY ADR up 27% yesterday. DRAM up 6%. “People don’t understand the difference between the US stock and KR stock” SKHY KR up 8% yesterday. Samsung up 5% yesterday. DRAM down 2% premarket. Explain.

That's helpful, thanks. Wasn't sure if DRAM would start to replace KR shares with the ADRs, which I think would've been risky for DRAM holders.

F2PBTW_YT

split 1-10. unfortunately the ADRs are priced at a slight premium since each 000660 share is worth around USD1449 as of today's KR close

JuiceboxSC2

It's funny to see people in this thread freaking out about Koreans when our whole market in KR has been plunging for a week or more, largely due to massive foreigner sell-offs.

JuiceboxSC2

TBH It felt wrong but everyone including the president of KR was encouraging it and people around me were making money. I only put in what I don't need right now so financially I'll be ok, but it seems I am regarded on a level that I was previously unaware of.

No-Paint-5726

Micron isnt that far behind sk hynix and enjoys benefit of being US company than KR. So... sk hynix oversubscribed at its price means micron probably should go up much higher.

Depends what you own. Check Korean ETF, it is still dropping. SK hynix German listing is -21% and counting. This will affect KR Monday, tbh if it is only another -10%, we should be happy... Otherwise the snowball continue. Don't forget USD/yen is also going up, next week or the week after (?) BOJ will 100% do a rate hike. So JP stock market will crash. Let's hope margin call doesn't trigger an irl jump... Especially in Korea.

Complex-Walk8027

HPE - Earnings report and enterprise AI services. KR - Long term hold in case of recession. DOCU - Earnings report coming up, looks like annual plateau. DG - Dollar tree jumped 10% on earnings report last week. I figured DG might do the same this week. SPCE - One share to start DCA long term. Small investment in all of them to minimize risk.

They are already mooning in KR. Can't wait for Hynix to get listed in US. There's money ot be made.

When I saw 300k bonus I was like wtf. These are manufacturer workers getting 300k for the next 10 years. And you just need a GED to do this job. KR assembly workers are living good when compared to engineers in the States. And with those stocks option, they will be multimillionaires with how strong Samsung is.

chumbawumba234

This guy on YouTube @socialcapofficial has a video called " only 5 funds I would buy and hold for life." He's a retired financial advisor and looks to be in his 40's. I like KR. Look how it performed during covid. Stay away from dividend traps like Yieldmax and Roundhill. This has not been financial advice. This has been for entertainment purposes only. You should speak with a professional financial advisor, or just have interactive brokers grow your money for their fee.

_hiddenscout

Also DARPA is part of defense spending, which has lead to things like GPS and the internet. I think for short term SNAP has better ROI, but like you said, the money still circulates. Even if the idea is like the defense contractors are getting super rich, well I mean LMT was like unperforming the SPY over the past 5 years until recently. On the flip side, WMT and KR would be some of companies that benefit from SNAP spending, which all three of these are betting the SPY over a 5 year period. Like you, not trying to argue morals or what is better or worse, but simply even corporation will benefit from any government spending.

Throwaway_Molasses

No. Do good research, pick quality, stable companies and hold for as long as they remain profitable. E.g. grocery stocks KR ACI SFM WMT COST

MikeSSC

$KR was the play

interstellara_

PG is down overall because of the market shift towards buying more store/own brand staples and less name brands. I also pay attention to P&G sales and coupons for a lot of reasons I won't go into, but the TL;DR is that they've increased prices to the point that people can't afford them without coupons and recently have cut back on promotions and coupons. So people are trying cheaper brands, store brands, or noticing that their P&G favorites just aren't as good as they used to be because P&G is cost cutting. The answer is pretty much enshittifcation and inflation/the economy. It's not widely talked about in here, but it's a huge reason that WMT, TGT, and KR will likely see things continue to do fairly well while brands like PG, KHC, CPB, flail over the next couple of years - their store brands are seen as reliable, good quality for value and they can offer decent pricing strats for bulk buys over the entire brand. This is a similar throwback to how things were during the GFC/2008 - name brand items are the first to go when you just need to keep brushing your teeth, washing your clothes, and keep your household running.

Why is KR mooning of all things?

[Break out this classic to learn them kids](https://youtu.be/h27X-wADkik?si=RlA9KR9Ty-usxJK-)

dvdmovie1

Store brands and companies that failed to innovate (KHC). plus people not drinking (DEO.) Also, the problem is that in this world of narratives, cheap has to be cheaper than before. So many people on here who went on for years about PYPL being cheap in the 60's and then it eventually winds up in the 30's. Nobody wants to wait for GIS to turn things around while there are tons of things that are working. If you're retired, then there are things that are going to get through this and they can DCA and get more yield. Other than that though, I just have had no interest - I've said this before; I'd rather own the shelves (KR) if had to own food. Maybe you get further consolidation in this sector, but that doesn't mean that deals will be done well - look at SJM buying Hostess, which has been a disaster that's already seen write-downs.

Portfoliana

FAST (Fastenal) since 2018. Sells nuts, bolts, and vending machines full of industrial supplies to factories. Nobody at a dinner party wants to hear about it, which is exactly why it compounds at 15%+ annually. They keep adding on-site locations inside customer facilities and the switching costs become insane once you're embedded in someone's procurement workflow. KR is a great pick btw. Grocery is one of those businesses where the market permanently underestimates how sticky the customer base is.

First of all, specificity in prompting makes a massive difference. But as an experiment I typed your prompt word for word into Claude and got this back in about 3 seconds: The Kroger (KR) – Albertsons (ACI) merger collapsed in December 2024 after a combination of regulatory opposition and internal disagreements between the parties. Here’s the breakdown: Regulatory Block In February 2024, the FTC filed a lawsuit to block the merger, arguing the deal would raise prices, lower quality, limit choices for consumers, and harm workers.  Nine state attorneys general joined the effort. On December 10, 2024, a U.S. district judge agreed with the FTC, and separately a Washington state judge also ruled the merger violated consumer-protection laws. Both companies terminated the deal following these rulings.  Why courts rejected it: The core issue was that Kroger and Albertsons are direct head-to-head competitors in many markets, and the proposed remedy — divesting 579 stores to C&S Wholesale Grocers — wasn’t credible. Both courts found that C&S, primarily a wholesale supplier with limited retail experience, would not be able to sufficiently replace the lost competition. The courts also noted that Kroger appeared to set C&S up to fail by not providing adequate capabilities like data analytics, pricing tools, and loyalty data, and by selecting weaker banners (QFC, Haggen) for divestiture while retaining stronger ones like Safeway.  Past attempts at similar grocery store divestitures had all failed, including ones involving C&S.  Internal Finger-Pointing This is where it gets messy, and both sides tell a very different story: ∙ Albertsons alleges Kroger experienced “buyer’s remorse” after seeing its post-pandemic profits fall and the stock market react negatively to the deal, and that Kroger then pursued a strategy that served its own financial interests rather than doing what was needed to get regulatory approval.  ∙ Kroger counters that Albertsons became significantly less cooperative after naming a new general counsel in mid-2023, and that Albertsons was secretly pursuing its own regulatory strategy with C&S that undermined Kroger’s efforts.  ∙ Even the termination is disputed — Albertsons pulled the plug the day after the court rulings, but Kroger claims it was planning to appeal and believed a more merger-friendly Trump administration could have negotiated a resolution.  Financial Fallout Kroger spent over $1 billion in total merger-related costs.  Albertsons is seeking a $600 million termination fee plus billions in additional damages.  C&S also sued Kroger for a $125 million termination fee.  These lawsuits are still playing out in Delaware Court of Chancery. In short: regulators successfully argued the deal was anticompetitive, the proposed fix (divesting to C&S) wasn’t credible, and the two companies are now blaming each other for the failure.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Im not seasoned but ive been in since gme watched 25k turn to 6k then rode it back to 20k took the 5k lose to actually invest. I have found most success with KR CCs but that would be almost all your portfolio. Pick 2 stocks 1 growth 1 dividend then 2 etfs that cover what those stocks dont. Slowly build to the CC. Dont be to heavy in one or the other. If you're writing covered calls im assuming you under stand delta and theta. Ive never managed a small account like yours but good luck hopefully I helped a little.

No_Cow_8702

OP, why the heck are you looking at backward P/E’s? KR has a forward P/E of 12 And $SBUX has a forward P/E of 28 Besides that, its about GROWTH and forward guidance.

WickedSensitiveCrew

PE ratios are partly a reflection of interest rates. When rates are low, investors are willing to pay more for future earnings because the present value of those earnings is higher. Even mature, “boring” companies like WMT, KR, and SBUX can sport high PEs in a low-rate environment. PE ratios aren’t just about absolute earnings—they’re about expected earnings. If investors think a company will grow earnings faster than inflation or the broader market, the PE can stay elevated. Companies like Starbucks or Nvidia can command higher multiples because people expect growth (or brand/market power) even if current profits are modest. Some sectors naturally trade at higher multiples. Tech and consumer discretionary often do, while traditional retailers sometimes trade lower—but the pandemic, supply chain shifts, and investor preference for “safe growth” have changed normal ranges.

SpellAccomplished541

The traditional companies are overvalued by traditional metrics. I hold individually every stock you mentioned in your post (WMT, KR, SBUX, AAPL, TGT). The only reason TGT missed out on the runup is because they lost customers due to the DEI rollback & boycott followed by intesified social media outrage. As a shareholder, I'm not surprised they haven't recovered yet (since they pissed off their own customer base), but I'm gonna keep holding the bag because eventually they will benefit from rotation since there is almost no other place to put money.

Ask Edgar does exactly what you're describing with the x-ray function—you can filter news and filings by keyword or tags to scan for specific topics across companies. for the comps and csv export stuff, check out TI⁤KR or Stock Ro⁤ver. together they'd cover what you're missing from At⁤om.

Great_Molasses_4601


wilson0x4d

two thoughts: 1. transaction fees, but it's probably only $11 or so from open to close and your profit will cover it. 2. there's no stop loss mentioned, if your brokerage allows it maybe set up an OCO bracket to avoid taking a massive unintended loss (extreme example: KR drops to $0, you okay with that?) then maybe add a stop limit. but hey since you're on r/options ... the next time you think dropping 60 grand on a stock without downside protection is a good idea, reconsider. you could have instead purchased equivalent call contracts at a price you felt was fair (say $70, 5 months out) and then if it went the wrong way instead of getting all jammed up on the underling you'd have only burned a small amount of capital (and you maybe can sell those contracts off to recover a bit of your premium, so it's really a smaller loss than the initial cost if you work it right.) there's also the small chance you capitalize on the contract instead of the underlying. eh? maybe time to brush up on long calls (and nothing else) and see if that aligns better with how you'd like to manage your capital. other than that, send it, this is what CC's are for IMO. you want out, the price isn't right yet, and you want to scrape a little extra out of the transaction. but you should be doing this expecting assignment, not expecting to successfully hold the underlying ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ otherwise an at-the-money CC makes very little sense. greed on premium is what traps most. also, premiums will be better if you wait for a swing and play it 21DTE or further out.
