It is obvious. All indices have been pumped up to insane heights since late 2024. KOSPI is crashing because the memory manufacturers are priced for continued bubble orders books. Those orders cannot be sustained and the selloff started in Korea, just as it did in the 2000 bubble. The press is still instructed to avoid the word "cyclical" in connection with hardware, but the insiders remember 2000 very well. If you watch daytrading, stocks like SpaceX or Micron are pumped up shortly after every opening so the insiders can sell higher during the day. The insiders also own the press and analysts, so they desperately still construct positive narratives.

For tech stocks, every July for like the last 10 years has been down. Aug and Sept always correct.

I will never forget that CEO in the Netherlands who sold her shares weeks before the IPO. At heavily reduced prices. At least someone knew the emperor was butt naked! She became the figurehead of the dot com bubble and the insane 1990s. All completely legal- some rich folks who lost not insignificant sums of money did unleash their lawyers but let's face it you can't have a stock market without fraud. Oh and you have to be a stone cold psychopath. I swear she should have gotten an Oscar.
