South Korean Firms activity

If you look at the history of the foreign vs domestic institutional buy/sell charts, aren't the top 5 korean investment banks not blatantly manipulating prices?

They sell hundreds of thousands of stocks yesterday, reverting a weeks worth of gains from foreign investments, and now that 000660 drops back to 1.5 their buy to sell ratio is skewed so far towards buying. It's funny seeing JPM, GS, and CLSA buying high and selling low.

They just got a 18% discount on hundreds of thousands of korea's #1 company. It sucks that American memory stocks are caught in this cycle of doom.

Stress from bagholding

Just closed most of my positions that were bleeding and the stress relief is instant as long as I don't open my portfolio. Please remember to take care of yourselves yall and keep spamming ai slop.

edit: looking at overnight price and 000660 already making me regret selling. bottom is long gone, only up from here without me.

Semi/Memory future outlook

As a fellow bagholder I love hopping onto this subreddit because you guys do the most TA that is either pure copium or good analysis. Keep it up, we're sending SNDK back to 1800 and MU to 1000 next week.

1-2 month long options

What do you guys do when your 1-2 month options don't move the direction you wanted? When do you cut/identify catalysts that might move price back or against your favor? Is it better to just cut losses and move on if you have a higher success rate doing other options?

Crazy analysts

Analyst reports that we might miss by 8% a few weeks ago? Crash. We actually do miss their crazy expectations by 8%? Crash even harder.

I swear wall street wants sk hynix to unify the peninsula and bring the north and south together so now let's crash. time to baghold my september 18 185 calls that I should've sold last thursday.

Or do I just sell right at open tomorrow. . .

how to grow as a SWE

2026 new grad, currently with an offer at a no name company as a swe, not sure what my responsibilities would be yet. total comp is abysmal and based off my convos with HR I'm likely getting overworked and undercompensated.

I really don't see myself working at the company for long based off the team, environment, location, etc, so I was planning on continuing research and job search while working there, maybe 9 months to a year? (i also need help figuring out how long I should stay before moving so it's not a red flag for other companies).

Right now, I'm doing some research on large language models where I'm aiming to publish by september with some PhDs from the lab I was part of, and maybe reapply to the masters program at a later point.

What should I be doing at my current job and outside of work hours to maximize growth and not be stuck at this position for too long?

tldr: need some tips so I'm not forever stuck at a bad company.
