Investment decisions are your own responsibility. This material is research, not a recommendation to buy or sell.

0. Bottom line first

The market feels unsettled, and many of the stocks I had considered market leaders seem to have seen profit-taking. In this kind of period, I think the right approach is to separate the wheat from the chaff, compress the portfolio, and endure.

1. Market view

Official fact: The original note records that semiconductors rose somewhat, led by Samsung Electronics.

Interpretation: Still, I think there could be some volatility ahead of short selling, and I am skeptical that a sudden sharp rebound will appear before mid-April.

The focus is not on expecting a fast rebound, but on selecting companies I can hold through the period.

2. Compression criteria

The lens is to narrow the list to companies I could stay with for several years even if a recession arrives. Rather than a short-term rebound, I care more about whether the position can be endured over the holding period and whether it deserves to remain in the portfolio.

Core filter

Separate quality

When the market shakes, I should not hold everything; I need to identify the companies worth enduring.

Operating mode

Compress the portfolio

During profit-taking and volatility, the response is to reduce lower-conviction holdings.

Time horizon

Companies for several years

The filter is whether I could stay with the company even through a recession.

3. Names I still want to hold through

For now, even if it gets difficult, I still want to stay with SK Eternix, InBody, SNU Precision, Doosan Enerbility, and Palantir. I am letting the others go for now, but may meet them again later.
