After the dreamy Christmas, the week became a new Monday.

Employees of JS Invest gathered in the conference room with coffee in paper cups.

"How was your Christmas?”

The staff answered yes, but Hong Ji-young would have stopped by the candles again and went to Gwanghwamun, and Jang, the only married, seemed busy serving the children.

Assistant manager Kim Hyung-sook seemed to have done the housework behind, and the station and Song would have only met friends and drank.

Still, I seemed to be the only person who had a noble life by dancing.

Chang said.

"The Dow and NASDAQ are still strong."

"Is that so?"

The U.S. is in a bullish mood with expectations for Trump and consumer sentiment revived. We also have a strong outlook."

Assistant manager Choi Yu-na was told.

"The Dow has been rising for seven consecutive weeks. We have a lot of questions from customers who have invested in overseas funds."

"Are we seeing an increasing number of foreign fund customers?”

"It's not an increase, it's an increase in self-investment from existing customers. Currently, overseas funds are 6 billion won. It's neither stretched nor diminished."

"The increase in overseas fund assets since the last briefing was 2 billion won, right?"

"Yes, the existing assets were 3.5 billion won, but the elder of the Gangnam large church invested 500 million won and 4 billion won. And one billion customers came to our offices in the field and later individually to sign up for the presentation."

"Well, that's why it's six billion.”

"Our clients, especially after the briefing session, are operating in a self-fund, parent fund state because of the large number of small investors."

"We invested mainly in stocks in the S&P 500 index, right?”

"Yes."

"What do you think? More than NASDAQ?”

"The current S&P500 is higher than the Dow, but slightly lower than NASDAQ. We don't have any box office hits, but we don't have any."

"Well, I see.”

"The S&P500 was up 0.13% yesterday, but Dow was up 0.07%, and NASDAQ was 0.28%."

"Okay. What do you think about the country?"

Song said.

"There's a rally at the end of the year, and there's a Dow or NASDAQ impact in the U.S., so chemicals, steel, machinery, nonferrous metals and banks are strong. Events such as Hanwha Chemical and GS Global are of interest.

"GS Global?"

"Isn't GS Global a traditional deep trading company? Isn't it a company that develops and distributes trade and natural resources such as cement materials, steel metals, mechanical electronics, and plants? There's been a lot of foreign buying lately.

"Is that so?"

"But we're more interested in stocks on the KOTC or KOTC BB market because they're private equity firms that usually handle unlisted stocks."

KOTC (Korea Over the Counter) refers to Korea's over-the-counter market.

KOTC Market is a market established and operated by the Korea Financial Investment Association in accordance with the Capital Markets and Financial Investment Business Act for the trading of unlisted stocks.

"Are you interested in any off-the-market items?"

"I'm interested in stocks that can be listed next year. Now I'm interested in TissueGene, Cytogen, and Philoptics."

"What companies are they?”

"TissueGene is a knee joint medicine developer and Cytogen is also a medical device company, Philoptics is a printing circuit board equipment company.“

"KOTC said the office is near here, right?”

"If you walk up to the KBS annex from our office, it's inside the Korea Financial Investment Association building."

When the KBS story came out, I thought of Eunyeong.

said after a sip of coffee,

"Be good friends there, too."

"Okay."

I said, looking at the station's face.

"China-related companies are in a state of limbo because of THAAD, right?"

"There are companies like that, but there are companies that don't. These days, J.Jun is going up well."

"J-Jun?"

"The J.J. Cosmetics. It's a company that makes mask packs. These days, Chinese women are rumored to like Korean mask packs, and they're selling like hot cakes."

"Really?"

"It doesn't seem to be affected by THAAD."

I looked at the clock.

"Oops, it's almost nine o'clock. We'll wrap up the meeting."

We all went back to our seats and began to do our own jobs.

I was habitually in front of the president's office desk.

My desk was huge because it was for the president. I turned on the computer.

But today, I didn't even have a good deal.

SillaJen was recognized as a talented stock early on, and was incorporated into the category of interest and was trading only one stock.

There were many issued shares and market capitalization, so they were only buying these shares.

But today, it was a strong market, so it was not very attractive.

It was good to sell, but it was burdensome for the charts to draw beekeepers like today.

Of course, if you want to buy many shares at once, you'd better keep your stock price up.

It was because the volume of ants would pour out only when they made strong beekeeping and raised their stock prices to a certain extent.

But this time, I didn't want to take up SillaJen because I wasn't a special operative.

It was because I was a gleaner and an alley keeper.

I don't even use fancy scenario trading techniques.

They don't use wild goose breakthrough techniques, lifeline trading techniques, or high-altitude breaking and selling techniques.

It was just that among the leading industries that are currently an issue, I liked stocks that had abundant trading volume and neat charts.

I stared blankly over the window at Yeouido without opening the HTS window.

My face glimmered in the window.

While looking at my face, I remembered Hwang Mi-na's moustache, which I saw at lawyer Yoon's house on Christmas day.

"Why don't I grow a mustache, too?”

Then I laughed. Because I was a person who didn't want to stand out.

So I rarely show up at meetings or organizations. Then I wondered how Hwang Mi-na chose such a man who didn't look like her at all.

Because the mustache was not fat at all, but slender and feminine. It occurred to me that growing a mustache might have been to hide one's feminine side and to make the masculine side stand out more.

What Hwang Mi-na said also lingered in my ears.

When lawyer Yoon was told to get married soon, Hwang Mi-na said with a deep sigh.

[Sighs, you need a house to get married or something. This person and I don't have a dime. Maybe you met someone who wasn't there.]

However, Hwang Mi-na's company was listed on the KOSDAQ, so I thought it would be a big deal, but I thought it would be dangerous for her to fail to issue convertible bonds.

Listed companies sometimes issue convertible bonds to raise funds, but if this fails, the stock will be a dung price and the road to financing will be blocked, signaling difficulties.

"It's dangerous."

I looked at the stock price of a company called S Productions that Hwang Mina works for.

The stock price, which was up and down from 1,200 won to 1,300 won, fell to 1,100 won.

I looked at the disclosure status.

The stock price also plunged as it failed to issue 5 billion won in convertible bonds.

"I think the stock price is going to be a coin soon."

Coin shares refer to shares worth less than 1,000 won.

Copper stocks were usually managed by many companies or companies. So I didn't even look at the coin liquor from the beginning.

S Productions seemed to have misselected the timing of issuing convertible bonds.

As the issue of THAAD is rising to the surface, companies related to the Chinese market are directly hit.

The company has been enjoying a bit in China due to its drama exports of dramas.

I called in General Manager Chang.

"Are you busy?"

"No, it's okay."

"Do you know a company called S Production?"

"Isn't that a drama production company?"

"The company failed to issue convertible bonds."

"It's a difficult company."

"I know someone in this company, and they're asking me to help them issue convertible bonds. Would you like to do some corporate analysis?"

"It is difficult to analyze with only the published financial statements. I think financial statements are a later indicator. If you want to know what's going on, you have to visit them in person and do a due diligence."

"Seriously..."

"Realization is hard for us to do as we please. We have to ask for it so we can get in.

"Let's meet the president here.”

"But there are plenty of good stocks, and of all people, are you going to mess with a company that failed to issue convertible bonds?”

"I know someone."

"Shake it off. If you go in the wrong way and go bankrupt, you'll lose all your money."

"Well, is that so?"

"It seems like they tried to issue convertible bonds to raise funds because of lack of production and operation costs because of the THAAD issue."

"That's what I see."

"But some entertainment companies are looking at capital increase at this time in order to tap the Chinese market."

"Really? Is there a company like that?"

"You know the Soribada Company, don't you?”

"I know. I used to download music from Soribada when I was in school.”

"The company plans to sell its management rights to a Chinese company and tap into the 1.3 billion Chinese market in earnest."

"Really?"

"There must have been a disclosure request on the exchange recently."

"What disclosure request?"

"This is a request for disclosure of the rumor that Soribada's largest shareholder will be sold and that a third party will be allocated for capital increase."

"Really? What did the answer say?"

"We answered that we are discussing the sale of the largest shareholder stake and a third-party allocation of capital increase. I think they've been looking at that.“

"Even if there is a THAAD issue, if the Chinese take control of the company, it will be a problem to consider tapping into the Chinese market."

If the S production you are talking about is under the condition of handing over the management shares to the Chinese, I don't know if it will be issued.“

"But would you do that?”

"Or maybe we can play a prank on the company's shares. If the shares are small and the market capitalization is low."

"How?"

"Isn't the company going to go bankrupt in a year or two?"

"Well, I don't know about that, but what if it is?"

"Every time the Chinese government complains about the THAAD issue, we're pushing it to the lower limit on our financial resources."

"Well, if it's a little bit of a stock, it'll work."

"And then you pretend to take over the debenture, and then you let go of what you had at the bottom of the line."

"Will that not lead to stock price manipulation using internal information?”

"You have to do it little by little so that it doesn't show. If we get a small number of accounts in a short period of time, we'll probably be the target of the stock price monitoring office at the Securities and Exchange Commission."

"It's dangerous, isn't it?

"You have your specialty, don't you?" Buy slowly with the gleaner, and when the stock price rises, you can just scoop it up like a fish. They won't even be able to get that far from the stock watch."

"Well."

I couldn't make up my mind quickly and just blinked.
