South Korean retail investors are turning to US stocks amid domestic market turmoil:
Retail investors from South Korea bought +$4.6 billion worth of US stocks in July, the largest monthly total since January 2026.
This marks a +627% MoM increase and follows -$469 million and -$940 million in sales in April and May, respectively.
July purchases were also well above the +$2.7 billion monthly average recorded in 2025, a year when South Korean retail investors more than tripled their purchases of US equities from 2024.
As a result, South Korean retail investors bought more US stocks last month than domestic equities for the first time since February.
This comes as the KOSPI Index has dropped -33% from its June peak, with ~75% of the decline driven by the 2 largest chipmakers, Samsung and SK Hynix.
US stocks are benefiting from South Korea's market downturn.

It's definitely NOT for building a gun owner database for a gun grab.
They would never do that. Flock 2A

βΌ UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS GET RESIDENCY FOR FREE!
Immigrants who work their whole lives in Spain and speak Spanish perfectly get deportedβ¦ but undocumented migrants who canβt speak a single word of Spanish get residency and a work permit just like that.
Insanityβ¦ where is the logic? Itβs clear that an integrated person like, Daria, who speaks Spanish and opens their own business in Spain adds value to society.

India cut extreme poverty by 40 points just by getting bureaucrats out of the way and not interfering in who was allowed to open a business.
This only happened because India had to ship 67 tonnes of gold to Britain and Switzerland as collateral as it stood on the edge of sovereign default.
Growth has been compounding for 30 years and extreme poverty is down from 45% to 5%.
Great things happen with less regulation and fewer bureaucrats.

More often than not, tolerating rampant crime in society is a policy choice.
After El Salvador locked up over 1% of its population (87,000 people), the murder rate collapsed from the highest in the world to one of the lowest in the Americas.
No activist judges to abuse the legal system, no human rights NGOs to effectively protect crime qua crime.
Voters handed Bukele the largest landslide in El Salvadorβs democratic history with 83% of the vote and his party 58 of 60 legislative seats.
Because at some point, somebody has to say weβve had enough of living at the mercy of the bottom 1%.

Hunter Biden revealed that his father Joe Bidenβs prostate cancer has metastasized, leaving the former president in severe pain.
βThe cancer has spread, metastasized into his bones and further. Itβs very painful and itβs very debilitating in many respects.β
"Itβs really sad to watch," Hunter Biden told the BBC. "The only thing that Iβd say about my dad, about his health right now, is I wish he would complain more, because itβs not good."

Unless liberty is defended with force, it will be crushed by an aggressor who is more than willing to use violence.
Hong Kong became one of the freest and richest cities under the British with no natural resources, just a government that mostly stayed out of the way.
And despite Beijing promising 50 years of autonomy, a free press, and an independent justice system under βOne Country, Two Systems,β millions in 2019 marched against extradition to the Mainland.
China imposed a National Security Law, shut down the press, jailed Jimmy Lai for 20 years, and Joshua Wong is facing a possible life sentence.
Over 144,000 have used Britainβs visa route to escape.
Because the marketplace of ideas is not a defense mechanism against aggression.
