I did say $MU looked like the next $NVDA. Now we're at a $1.23T MC. Started talking more about Samsung Electronics/Sk Hynix back in 2025. Put more concentration into the memory theme like $SNDK and others, Jan of this year. And I'm glad my prediction with Micron + memory is playing out well! Hope people had fun with $EWY longs too, those are up a lot.
I’ve written a thesis on these 3 themes early on: Neoclouds, Photonics, and Memory. Now, it’s fun to sit back and watch all my thesis ideas play out from $AAOI to $EWY to $NBIS. Even got my warnings right too, $IREN is still stagnant due to the $6B of constant selling pressure from the ATM, while $NBIS reaches ATHs. But the bagholders still don’t want to admit it. Think a core part is knowing what theme comes next with markets, then comes picking the winner + heavy concentration in them. If you went long on software and chose the ideal stock, you’d probably end up not as happy? Photonics is still probably the earliest out of the three. But I can see Nebius end up like AWS one day. And $MU / SK Hynix / Samsung potentially end up like a mini $NVDA if memory demand is structural.
$EWY 32% IV into 58% IV expansion trade. Into underlying SK Hynix / Samsung increase way ITM. Was such a goated call? (~383% return) Had way too many great ideas this year… Still super proud of predicting South Korea index volatility increase due to memory concentration https://t.co/Kjur1bdKp7
For people out there citing Bank of America quotes now about selling. Just remember: They said $EWY/ KOSPI (SK Hynix/Samsung) was an extreme bubble back in March. And blamed retail for the cause, then implied they should sell Korean memory equities: comparing it to the 2008 financial crisis, .com bubble, and Silver crash. Then shortly after retail sold their longs, memory rallied to all time highs. Institutions are not your friends. Usually when an unusual flood of negative news, they need liquidity.
Oh look… $NVDA CEO warned memory shortage is expected to persist for many years, due to massive scaling demand of AI infrastructure. With further announcements tomorrow. $MU and $EWY (Samsung/SK Hynix) operating profit projections aren’t looking too crazy anymore? https://t.co/OvjyrifRtO
$EWY (June 2, 2026-weekly chart) Who called the top on $EWY and $KOSPI (the Korean Index) a couple of months ago? https://t.co/MNq22ORMiI
And a few months later... my $EWY leaps are now up 485%. From IV expansion and directional memory longs. Unfortunately I did see a lot of people sell during the Iran volatility, due to doomposting everywhere on X. But returns going long on the memory sector from Samsing SK Hynix / $MU have been absolutely disgusting to watch. If you can model Samsung / SK Hynix becoming the most profitable companies in the world in 2028... Maybe it's a good idea to just embrace the volatility and let that thesis play out.
Holy crap… My $EWY 2028 leaps are now up 428%+. So 5.2x ROI trade, in 3 months. Thats what happens when IV increases and underlying memory assets in SK Hynix / Samsung also appreciate. https://t.co/XdE21DOyoz
RT @dannycheng2022: Here's how you can use volatility holes as reliable buy and accumulation zones when you are in the right stocks. Every time the upper boundary is surpassed, it most likely triggers another rally. Simple yet effective. I share and update the upper and lower boundaries of each volatility hole with my community every day and every week because it is a moving indicator — it changes every day. The following four charts speak for themselves in terms of accuracy! 1. $EWY 2. $CIEN 3. $PL 4. $NOK
$EWY calls are now up 300%+, over 4x return if you listened anon? Not only did IV increase and hold their implied volatility of the South Korean market. Underlying memory longs in SK Hynix and Samsung keep printing. During that time, all your influencers kept bear posting “Oil + LNG” fears as well as “Kospi bubble” chants.
$RPI, close to ~3x returns. Off the media branded "Meme Stock". I think after retail saw institutions bear post my thesis posts. Then ended up paper handing $AXTI, then $RPI, then $IQE, then $EWY, then $SNDK, then $AAOI, then $SOI. And them watch them all go up 3x-15x+ after institutions bought up the float. Retail finally learned not to trust them with anymore with names like $SIVE?
Do not sell multi-year breakouts — buy at the breakout! Most retail traders have it completely backward — they sell at multi-year breakouts instead of buying them. In reality, when price finally breaks out after years of consolidation, it often signals the start of a powerful, sustained uptrend with strong momentum. Selling into the breakout means exiting far too early and missing the biggest part of the move. Smart traders or investors do the opposite: they buy the breakout to ride the expansion phase. 1. $BB 2. $EWY 3. $INTC 4. $DELL @cantonmeow @sheslee @tonylee80 @starship_ride @yatchiu226 @chad_ventures @gabz_investing Disclaimer: Not financial advice.
I don't post dollar amounts because they don't matter. What matters is return %. Speaking of that... YTD: 3840.39%. I'm probably the only one in the world. Who called out multiple names that 10x'd in a short timeframe. Do you remember these thesis anon? 1. $AXTI 2. $SIVE 3. $AAOI 4. $LITE 5. $IQE 6. $AEHR 7. $CRCL 8. $EWY 9. Unimicron 10. Nitto Boseki 11. $OSS 12. $GDRZF 13. $RPI 14. $SOI 15. $ALRIB 16. $SNDK 17. $SIMO 18. $VPG 19. $TSEM 20. $ARM 21. $MRVL 22. $INTC 23. $LPK 24. $NBIS 25. $MU They're all up 100-1000%+, because... 1. I post a thesis. 2. People can see how the stock performs months later. 3. They turn out right (thesis validation) because they're up hundreds of percent + hold their returns. I really dislike the traditional X influencer who shows large dollar amounts or fancy watches/cars/private jets. Then use that to get more by selling expensive subscriptions rather than through market returns. So trying to set a new trend off pure information discovery/synthesis from free thesis posts and the results that follow in terms of return percentages. TLDR: Market returns in terms of percentages matter the most to validate a thesis. Not the dollar amount made.
RT @dannycheng2022: $EWY (May 21, 2026-weekly chart update) Don’t use red candles in isolation. Volatility holes and momentum bars have often served as stronger, more reliable signals.

Here's how you can use volatility holes as reliable buy and accumulation zones when you are in the right stocks. Every time the upper boundary is surpassed, it most likely triggers another rally.

$EWY (May 18, 2026-weekly chart) Looking back, the 4 volatility holes have acted as reliable buy and accumulation zones once the upper boundary was surpassed, which triggered a subsequent rally. Trend is always your friend until proven otherwise. A simple chart with reliable indicators is what you need in a bull cycle.
Leopold Aschenbrenner is a legend, but I'm not quite sure he can beat 3152.77% YTD in the Serenity Awareness fund. That being said, I've hit 23 different longs this year with 100-1000%+ YTD. 1. $AXTI 2. $AAOI 3. $SIVE 4. $LITE 5. $IQE 6. $AEHR 7. $CRCL 8. $EWY 9. Unimicron 10.

Just two months ago. Everyone on X was bearish on $EWY, $MU, Sk Hynix, Samsung, saying Korean markets / Memory was like the "Silver Bubble". And that LNG/Helium/Oil fears would tank markets. Now suddenly everyone that was doomposting was "bullish" all along. There's a difference between just tagging along the news flow. Then having money at stake and having the correct contrarian opinion while everyone was bearish. Anyway, $EWY longs are now up 350%+, just goes to show how much noise there is nowadays.
$EWY (May 10, 2026-weekly charts) Why bet against the trend? On my weekly $EWY chart from November 2023 to May 2026, I’ve highlighted four clear volatility holes. Each time the price broke decisively above the upper boundary of the hole (with that exact level highlighted on the chart), it triggered a strong, sustained rally. In hindsight, these upper-boundary breakouts have been 100% reliable buy and accumulation signals so far — until proven otherwise. Key takeaway for my community: When you see a volatility hole forming during a strong bullish trend, don’t fight it. Use the breakout above the upper boundary as a high-probability trigger to add to your position and accumulate. These setups have repeatedly marked the start of powerful moves higher. Trade with the trend, ignore all market noises on X and let the reliable charts tell you when to lean in!
I did say $TOWA (6315) would be very boring... But it just keeps creeping up slowly over time like Hammond. Maybe going directly with $EWY longs calls would have been more exciting? https://t.co/7L0p2oeUqQ
Feels like everyone is doom-posting KOSPI saying: > “Look at the chart, it can’t keep going up like this!” > Memory is a black hole for demand ( $SNDK taking 3Y preorders ) > $EWY is basically just two stocks, Samsung and SK Hynix, not a representation of the Korean economy > Like saying Taiwan Index is a bubble because the index that tracks $TSM and Mediatek goes up. > Memory demand/AI doesn’t just disappear because of a War in Iran, but it does get more expensive. > Increased energy from crude/LNG get passed down to hyperscalers, not eaten up in opex. It’s looks to be fear selling and deleveraging (3x ETFs and 10x likely got wiped out today) rather than materially operational (slight bearish headwind, but not enough for -30%). SK Hynix futures is now trading in the high $300B MC-low $400B range. If MS and updated analyst projections are even slightly right, SK Hynix’s operating profits for example would be ~$300B. They’ll be sitting on too much money by 2028 as a cushion if memory prices drops. (and not even considering demand becomes structural). Looks to be another DeepSeek-Nvidia type fear selling situation, especially as nand/dram prices get hiked again recently. More of a question of timing the bottom. It’s times like these logic matter more than irrational headline selling.
This is S tier research I put out for free! Appreciate the shoutout from technical folks like @TheValueist who saw how awesome this trade idea was: -> mapped pass through structures of $EWY and SK Hynix/Samsung despite ETF rebalances -> found 2028 volatility pricing issues on option chains in specific by comparing it to realized IV. -> summarized that into an easy-to-understand thesis. on top of directional long memory supercycle after breakdowns of Samsung/Sk Hynix projections. Not everyone can profit off of Jane Street algorithms and foresee South Korea citing increasing volatility across the board!
This $EWY trade was stupid good. If you are an investor or trader on X, you simply must be following @aleabitoreddit . He understands macro, micro/company-level, and derivatives technicals, then puts it all together for you in one easily understandable package. A tremendous amount to learn from him.
Trade idea that I published to my shower thoughts channel: Korean Index volatility arbitrage and taking advantage of Black-Scholes models. $EWY long options seem mispriced. This is Blackrock's Korea Index, which is majority memory (Samsung Electronics, Sk Hynix). The stock swings 2-5+% a day, and is up 136.25% 1Y, despite priced like a normal index IV. Samsung is volatile. SK Hynix is volatile (eg. 65% - 80% est). But the combination of the two through the index is priced way less than both low beta $GOOGL (37.33%) and $AMZN (39.12%) at ~32% IV. I've been watching $EWY for a bit and it does look volatile. As for pricing my guess is MMs priced in IV based on historical averages (5-10 years), where the Korean index was completely flat. And were expecting calls 2 years out to revert to the mean. But this volatility should be the new norm as markets price in the new memory supercycle (eg. $TSM went from 30% IV to 46.2% IV). Long calls should benefit from both Samsung + Sk Hynix carrying the index. And the main benefit is vega expansion that you won't get from $KORU. You also can't get this option MM pinning like individual US stocks since this is Korea's national index and long term. TLDR: Individual components SK Hynix + Samsung are highly volatile. They're basically half of the index, but options in index are priced with low volatility, perhaps due to historical 5-10 year data. Long calls benefit from vega expansion that weren't priced in correctly as MM forward vol estimates are anchored too heavily on historical realized vol, which was low for $EWY over the past 5-10 years
