“A nation newly enamoured of stock markets is discovering that shares can go down as well as up. Since peaking in June the stock prices of Samsung and SK Hynix have crashed … wiping $1.2trn from South Korea’s highly concentrated stock market…“

“Now a government that just weeks ago was embracing markets is being forced to apologise for them.

… When the selling began in June broker accounts faced margin calls and were shut down by the thousand, causing regulators to suspend new ETF launches. At an emergency meeting on July 29th politicians promised to severely limit the use of these funds. One compared the market to a casino. Shares in the country’s department stores are crashing as fast as those of its chipmakers, in anticipation of the handbags that will now remain on the shelves.”
