Dr. Park Tae-hyung of Gangnam Skinique Clinic shares his honest story about stock investing, which he started as a 'side job' in addition to his main profession as a doctor. What are his investment scale and philosophy?
Dr. Park Tae-hyung's Investment Scale and Style
Dr. Park Tae-hyung, who currently invests approximately 1.2 billion KRW in stocks, reveals his experience of achieving a maximum return rate of 250%. He prefers investing up to 1 billion KRW in a single stock 'all at once' rather than through staggered purchases, and is a tenacious investor who holds on even when facing losses.
"If you're going to invest, go all in on studying. Study and study to find things that are likely to generate future profits." He emphasizes that he views stock investing as a field of 'study' and approaches it through thorough analysis.
How He Started Stock Investing
Dr. Park Tae-hyung's journey into stock investing began in a somewhat unique way. During his internship, he would listen to stock-related YouTube videos for 30 minutes every day and became fixated on a stock called 'E-Mart', and he reportedly gained confidence by delving into all information about E-Mart. To persuade his wife to invest 100 million KRW, he raised funds through a 'Zero-Won Spending Challenge for a Day', and even showed passion by preparing a presentation about E-Mart.
The Path of a Studying Investor
When he first invested 100 million KRW, his heart trembled as he faced a 5% loss, but he proved his investment philosophy by earning a profit of 80 million KRW in 6-8 months. Dr. Park Tae-hyung emphasizes the importance of investing that is not merely 'speculative', but rather 'studies and analyzes to generate profits'.
