Odaily Planet Daily reports that Serenity, the self-proclaimed "White-Haired Stock God," posted on the X platform, stating that while his stock picks are often interpreted as "harvesting retail investors," he hopes his recommendations can change the market's perception that some stocks are only suitable for short-term speculation and prove that high-quality companies also possess long-term holding value. Serenity pointed out that his only recommended Chinese concept stock last year was Innolight, an optical module manufacturer, which has now reached an all-time high with a cumulative increase of three digits. He stated that his investment logic is primarily based on Western institutional research frameworks, comprehensively referencing research views from institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, and focusing on demand changes from US cloud computing giants like Google and Microsoft. Furthermore, Serenity stated that he continuously assesses geopolitical and game theory factors when researching individual stocks, such as in his analysis of companies like AXT. He believes that the perspectives of foreign investors can bring different types of alpha to the Chinese stock market and remains optimistic about future investment exploration in the Chinese stock market. Serenity denied the speculation circulating in the market that she was backed by a Chinese institutional team, emphasizing that she is just an individual investor who shares her investment thoughts every day. English is her primary language, and since most of her content is published via mobile phone, she posts more than 20 articles a day, so occasional spelling errors are normal.

According to MSX.COM data, SK Hynix shares surged over 15%, with the memory chip maker leading a rebound in the South Korean stock market. The KOSPI index jumped as much as 8%, after falling 15% from its all-time high during a three-day losing streak. Samsung Electronics rebounded as much as 9.1%, suggesting investors are not yet ready to abandon the artificial intelligence (AI) hype. The dramatic AI-driven rally had previously propelled the KOSPI index to a year-to-date gain of over 100%, but this momentum quickly crumbled on Monday, triggering a circuit breaker and briefly halting trading. Leveraged ETFs amplified the volatility of their underlying securities, further exacerbating the decline. Samsung Securities analyst Lee Jongwook stated that volatility has become significant, but this is due to changes in market structure, not a cyclical directional shift. The analyst advised investors to maintain existing positions or add to them after the sell-off.
