In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

When a country's population is collapsing on its own, and yet the economy is merely stagnating, you know they have been trying their hardest. Situation with SK is even more acute that what Japan faced before, Japan's population decline is a lot less steep and over many years, SK is going into a death spiral in comparison.

There are always some economists saying countries are “running out of workers”. But the ground reality is totally different. South Korean children have to pass some of the toughest exams in the world and only some make it to the prestigious universities on the path to cushy high skilled jobs. But the others have to resort to low skilled jobs to survive. More of the high skilled jobs like those in IT are becoming redundant as AI takes over those jobs.

Focussing on South Korea's economic stagnation is like concentrating on Australia's unique cuisine: it seems to miss the point (yes, it is stagnating but so are almost all other developed countries). As an American who looks at a lot of economic data, I've always wondered why South Korea's economic success is the outlier. Look at, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, Chile -- and maybe even China. There is something very unique in this small, very politically and socially conservative country that can't be exported to other countries. What it is, I don't know.

Thank you for respecting our country. I’ve wondered a lot about this as well and I do have a good and classic explanation for this.. We had great leaders. In two aspects- Politics and Business. In Politics it was the president Parkjunghee mentioned in the video, and the Business part Jungjooyoung, who was the man who founded the Hyundai group- (this man accounted to almost half of the Korean GDP growth once) to compare with western leaders, perhaps the level of Napoleon would suit right. The most astonishing part of these two leaders was that their foremost goal was improving our country to become a “1st class” country, instead of enjoying their power or wealth. There were a lot of reasons for this, but anyway it was just a miracle for us to have such leaders with abilities at the right time and with such patriotic minds. Our growth would be accounted to much more factors as well, perhaps competition with NK or the feeling of inferiority to Japan, who was our rival since the ancient period, but I believe these two man are the guys who deserve the most credit. Especially Jungjooyoung. You should read his biography, Dunno if there is an English version, but it really changes your life’s attitude-I was one. His famous quote is, “Did you try?”

@@posthocprior Well in the postwar era it may seem that SK is unique but if we look at a more larger historical context there are much more examples, France with Napoleon, Japan at the Meiji era(late 1800s), if you look closer to these cases you will see that when smart patriotic leaders stay strong your nation grows up- especially the Japan case suits well, they started from the agricultural society stuck in 1500s but in 50 years they beated Russia, and this was all due to the Japan elites at that era who knew what they had to do- learn western technology and be one of them. Didn’t other countries aware of this solution? They knew it as well, but there were no leaders in other Asian countries who actually utilized this solution, they were more interested in keeping their society and orthodoxy. Was this just by coincidence? Or something of a national characteristics? Then why did Korea stumbled during the 1800s and be colonized but became one of the leading countries nowadays? Set aside nationality- human might look different but they think just all same. I believe the right timing and right people standing at the top decides the nation’s future the most. Our history proves it.

Actual experience any native english speaker will go through trying to teach english in south korea: the teacher will be given two employment contracts, one in english and one in korean. The native english speaker is asked to read and sign the contract "now" in the recruitment office. No, you cannot run it by a lawyer first. The english version of the contract says "this version is for translation purposes only and is not binding. Only the korean version will be enforcable". As they target teachers who don't speak korean, who knows what the korean version of the contract says. Oh, I can tell you: 6 month trial periods where the company can fire the teacher with no notice for no reason and not have to pay out *any* benefits.

The way it works is if you don't know any English at all then you learn from someone who understands the rules of how to write and speak English but isn't very good at it. Then once you know enough English to understand some of what is said, you get trained by people who are better at English (native speakers without an accent) who don't know much Korean. If you are teaching children, you may have two teachers, one who is fluent in Korean and can speak some English who effectively runs the classroom and one from an English speaking country who actually teaches the English.

Seoul has about half of the country's population and I believe has a fertility rate of only 0.5 or so vs 0.72 or so for the country as a whole. People living in cites have fewer children, especially if rents and real estate are expensive and especially if a lot of people live in apartments as opposed to in houses. Apparently rents and real estate are expensive in Seoul snd a lot of people live in apartments. I'm guessing that increased urbanization is one of the factors leading to decreased fertility rates around the world.

Weren't you peddling china demographic collapse theory just yesterday ? What a loser
The growth rate for developed countries is about 2-3%. The real question is, can they maintain that growth?
As Professor Michael Pettis, a nonresident senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, often explains, countries like China and South Korea do not have an export-driven model; rather, what they have is an investment-driven model, which in turn naturally results in an export-driven model. This particular strategy of investment-driven growth is not new. The United States adopted it in the 1920s, the Soviet Union did so in the 1950s, and the Japanese did so in the 1970s to 80s. Primarily, the way that this works is that the country adopts a policy of suppressing wages through a weak currency (this is done by cycling trade surpluses into investments rather than imports, thereby creating a demand for the investment currency, usually US dollars, and an increase in the supply of the foreign currency), capital controls that force capital to stay within the country thereby giving business and government access to capital, and other direct and indirect subsidies to industry. Of course, this strategy is not free. It is a transfer of wealth from one sector of the economy within the country to another sector of the economy. Currency depreciation hurts importers, which are usually households, and helps exporters, which are usually businesses that engage in manufacturing. Capital controls and other interventions in the financial sector that artificially decrease the interest rate that depositors can receive and lenders can give out is a transfer of wealth from savers to borrowers, which tend to be governments and businesses. Of course, by definition, if a country runs a trade surplus, some other country must run a trade deficit. In the global economy, the overwhelming country that runs a trade deficit is the United States because it is one of the few countries that has the ability to run the trade deficits that trade surplus countries force other countries to run because of their weak domestic demand that results from the suppression of wages. The United States has relatively open capital markets, good governance, good legal structures, and a deep and liquid financial market, making the US the primary target of investment from countries that run a trade surplus. Naturally, this has an impact on the United States. The United States and all other countries that run large trade deficits have one of three options: (1) they could let unemployment rise as domestic industries are destroyed, leading to workers being fired, inducing a negative savings rate domestically; (2) encourage household debt, which increases faster than increases in productivity suggest; (3) increase fiscal deficit. Most governments don't like option number (1), so options number (2) and (3) are what usually happen. However, this model only works insofar as all the major countries that run trade deficits, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the UK, are willing to accept the trade surpluses of countries like China, South Korea, Japan, and Germany. If trade deficit countries were to decide that enough was enough, it would result in an increase in the prices of goods from abroad becoming more expensive, however, in the long run, employment would likely increase as production increases domestically, but for trade surplus countries, it would result in unemployment as there would be an imbalance between the supply and demand within the economy, forcing trade surplus countries to recalibrate their economy, such that domestic consumption realigns with domestic production, which is a much more difficult task. In general, trade deficit countries are waking up to this realization and are becoming more protectionist. These countries are realizing that free trade is not necessarily fair trade.

When top companies fail, governments should instead reinvest money into new government projects to sustain jobs. I understand that they obviously won't all be in the same field, but it will alleviate the job market enough. I'm tired of seeing countries spend most of their tax money on bailing out failed businesses. The money is better invested in creating government jobs so there is still room for the free market to compete and come up with more successful businesses. This practice of reviving useless businesses is what's killing economies. There's no room for competition. If you want to spend billions or trillions of dollars, put it towards somewhere useful. Even consider spending it as a stimulus for the people laid off while they look for new work. 90% of all businesses fail. There's no reason why we should be investing most of our money into reviving them.

I've been living in South Korea for almost a decade and I witness that people are fed up with far right politicians. I guess people often forget that South Korea's is traditionally a very right wing society due to military culture seeping into civilian aspects of life. So, even the most pro-socialist South Korean legislative candidate is a moderate right wing from an American perspective. It's never a good idea to view South Korea with a very Americanized or western political point of view.
