description: "This is a shocking statistic:SK Hynix & Samsung shares/leveraged ETFs make up over 70% of trading volume in South Korea.I think the memory concentration is rational.But over 70% of daily volumes with ~15-20% in leveraged ETFs just reeks of a gambling mindset.I can also guarantee that most of those "investors" don't know what SK Hynix do, and probably think that Samsung are going up cos of phones/TVs.Then there was that WSJ article a few weeks ago that interviewed people who full-ported their life savings into 2x leveraged SK Hynix.All paints a pretty stark picture around the state of Korean investment culture imo."
