My top 5 Holdings in Jan 2026:
1) $ACFN
2) $MMY.V
3) $OGD.TO
4) $PVE.AX
5) $VIRI.PA (Viridien)
& honorable mention at #6 is $VAL
altogether these 6 make up ~58% of my portfolio
While I think this post is factually correct about corporate culture, disclosures and past actions in Korea, it completely misses the mark on (1) key changes that have been implemented like the 3% rule and (2) the sheer speed of regulatory changes in just the last couple of years. Fewer and fewer egregious acts against minority shareholders and more instances of improving shareholder returns. Going from a Grade F to C is extremely powerful and more powerful than going from a Grade B to A. I agree that there is still a long way to go

Solid quarter by Monument Mining $MMY.V $MMTMF earned $22.65M or $0.07 per share. Has almost $101M or $0.30 per net cash. Trading at ~ 2x earnings net of cash. https://t.co/c56aqhOJuY
LNG traveling from British Columbia to Germany
This deal really highlights how much security of supply has started to matter more than just pure economics. How many days would such a voyage even take?

2/ but even excluding Samsung + SK Hynix, KRX ADTV is up >100% y/y.
Earnings quality for brokerages is a bit poorer, but governance reform, domestic tax incentives, and foreign access suggest a higher structural turnover base.
1/ Many Korean brokerages still trade at single-digit earnings multiples because the market doesn’t believe current earnings are sustainable.
That skepticism is understandable: Samsung Electronics + SK Hynix have become ~35% of total KRX avg daily trading value.

We're reaching an all time high in May of 64T KRW yet some Korean brokerages are still trading at single digit earnings multiples
There is a real risk here of the KOSPI today becoming like the Nikkei in the 80s. Seems like we're still quite far from bubble territory though
