On October 22, Kim Gura released a video titled "Is Electricity the Future? Top 3 Stocks to Watch Right Now [Kim Gura’s Economics Lab EP.69 Stock Edition]" on his YouTube channel ‘Grigura.’ In the video, he explained, “I set my stock application to display based on returns. The stocks with the best returns are at the bottom, and Samsung Electronics is there. Samsung Electronics has yielded about a 100% return.”

Recently, the stock price of Samsung Electronics has continued its upward trend, reaching a new all-time high. On October 24, it closed at 98,880 won, up 2.38% (2,300 won) from the previous trading day. An industry official commented, “The strong performance of Samsung Electronics’ stock is attributed to the recovery of investor sentiment following the confirmation of the U.S.-China summit schedule, as well as the overall buying momentum in the semiconductor sector after Intel in the U.S. delivered results that exceeded market expectations.”

In the video, Kim Gura also said, “Among the domestic stocks I own, there are some that have now been delisted. Some are just suspended from trading, not delisted, but Chunbo [278280] went up. It turns out that all secondary battery-related stocks have risen.” He added, “Secondary battery stocks hadn’t been rising for a while, but suddenly they did, and Chunbo went up. Currently, Chunbo is about minus 80% in my account,” drawing laughter from the panelists.

Kim Gura also achieved remarkable results with his gold investments. He shared, “I once visited a gold exchange while filming. I bought a 1kg bar and about 350g of leftover pieces. A few years ago, when the price of gold rose significantly, it became worth over 200 million won, so I considered selling it, but my wife said, ‘We’re not in urgent need of money, so just keep it.’ I left it, and when I checked the current price recently, it had grown to 340 million won.”
