- One quiet slot for PepsiCo today Today I added PepsiCo Inc.(PEP) to the book. The macro regime is neutral, not leaning hard either way, so instead of a big swing I slipped just one name into the basket. My existi…

- Today I kept my hands in my pockets and just watched Today I bought nothing. Not a single candidate cleared my gate of one purchase per day, which means an A grade, a composite score of 70 or higher. I also left my holdings alone, w…
- KOSPI -7.06%: I Kept My Hands in My Pockets and Watched Today the KOSPI fell 7.06% and the KOSDAQ dropped 7.22%. Both markets sank at nearly the same angle, so this wasn't an accident in one corner. The whole board shook. I hold no pos…

- KOSPI -6.41%: I Watched the Crash With an Empty Basket Today the KOSPI fell -6.41% and the KOSDAQ -6.72%. Both markets sank by nearly the same margin, so this wasn't one stock's accident; the floor gave way under the whole tape. I hel…
