<Anchor> This is a
friendly economic time. Today (3rd) I will be with reporter Han Ji-yeon. A reporter, I think it was no exaggeration to say that last year was an investment craze and financial tech craze, but will this atmosphere continue this year as well?
<Reporter>
I went to a large bookstore on January 1st while thinking about what to do with the topic today. But originally, the bookstore was so crowded that it seemed that there were so many people.
In particular, there were a lot of people in front of the finance corner. Today, I would like to talk a little bit about stocks among these financial techniques.
There was a stock frenzy last year to the point where I did it like this. If you look around, there are a lot of people who made money with stocks. But when I looked at the Daishin Securities data released this time, last year's yield stock fund ranked second.
Not all stock funds are stocks. When I looked at stock funds that had a rather high stock ratio of 70-100%, the average return was around 10%.
The reason is that stock yields are relatively sluggish, and the reason is that there was a slight departure from foreign investors due to the weak won. In addition, growing concerns about the semiconductor industry seem to have had an impact.
So, in case you were wondering what the first place was, I prepared it, but just a week ago, last Monday, I dealt with it in Kind Economics. That's gold. Gold beat stocks and real estate at 11.61%. Real estate rose 9.56% to third place.

Let's take a closer look at the stock market. Are you saying that the IPO market is hot from the new year?
<Reporter>
Yes, this year's stock market is an all-time high. Companies with a trillion-dollar offering amount are waiting one after another, "IPO, I don't understand what you mean." Don't change channels. I'll explain right away.
The company said, "Now I have to sell some of the company's stock to the general public." So, when you first register on the stock market, you openly recruit investors, that is, you go public.
However, in order to say “Would you like to invest?”, you need to provide such information as to whether the company is running well, and this is called an IPO. If you say this is complicated, the abbreviation for IPO is going out.
You can think of something like 'to present to the general public for the first time' or 'stock or information'. There were a lot of IPOs of big companies last year, so the total amount of public offering was over 20 trillion won. But this year, it seems to exceed this.
First, LG Energy Solutions, the largest IPO in the history of the Korean stock market, will be listed this month. The general subscription is on the 18th and 19th of this month, and the amount of public offering is expected to reach up to 12 trillion won.
Hyundai Engineering aims to go public in early next month and Hyundai Oilbank in the first half of this year. Another e-commerce industry. Ssuk.com and Market Kurly are preparing for listing. In addition, Kakao Mobility and Kakao Entertainment aim to be listed within the year.
However, just because it is a surety public offering company doesn't mean it's safe. You have to be careful because there are situations where the stock price that has risen sharply goes up and down immediately after listing because single-shot trading is extreme.

Is it possible to trade with decimal points when buying stocks this year?
<Reporter>
Yes, now when you buy a stock, you have to buy at least one share. For example, if you buy LG Household & Health Care stocks, one share now costs about 1.1 million won.
In fact, it is not easy for ants, especially small investors, to buy this. However, you can buy this by dividing it into decimal units such as 0.1 weeks and 0.2 weeks, instead of in units of 1 week.
For example, currently, if you want to buy LG Household & Health Care, you need to have 1.1 million won per week, but in the future, you can buy 0.1 weeks of LG H&H with just 110,000 won.
It's not possible right now. We are preparing for the third quarter of this year, and I will remind you once again at this time.

Then, explain it again. In this way, the portfolio composition of individual investors seems to be diversified.
<Reporter>
You can configure the stocks of companies that you couldn't even think of. For example, it costs about 3.22 million won to buy stocks from the 1st to the 10th in the current market cap.
But if you configure this as a decimal point, you can buy it all with only 1 million won.
However, there are quite a few people who are skeptical of such decimal-based trading.
This is because, instead of buying directly by an individual, a brokerage company collects decimal point orders and operates it in the form of beneficiary certificates.
In that case, real-time trading would be difficult.
The timing of stock trading is important, and if this becomes difficult, the attractiveness will inevitably decrease.
