[Investment Diary #33] My Strategic Picks for Jan Week 4: Hanwha Ocean, K-POP, Meta, and Tesla

 

Hello! This is Piry, a blogger and Bitget influencer. :) Welcome to my 33nd investment diary. This week, I’ve reorganized my portfolio by focusing on companies with clear upcoming catalysts and cutting-edge tech.



Here are the details of my recent "Buy & Sell" decisions based on Gemini's analysis.

🚢 1. Hanwha Ocean: Riding the Naval MRO Wave

I newly added Hanwha Ocean to my portfolio. The core reason is its growing relationship with the U.S. government. They've recently secured contracts for U.S. naval ship maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. With news of them potentially acquiring additional shipyards in the U.S., I see significant long-term growth potential in the global defense and shipbuilding sector.

 

Technical Insight: Why Hanwha Ocean’s Expansion into the U.S. Matters

Why I’m Bullish: A Technical Perspective

The reason I am particularly bullish on Hanwha Ocean goes beyond simple contract wins. It’s about "Technological Synergy" and "Strategic Foothold."

  1. Advancing Naval MRO Technology: U.S. Navy ships require incredibly high standards for maintenance and repair. Hanwha Ocean’s entry into the U.S. MRO market proves that South Korean shipbuilding technology—especially in smart yard systems and automated welding—has reached a global top-tier level. This "Smart Shipbuilding" tech allows for faster turnaround times, which is a critical pain point for the U.S. Navy right now.
  2. The Jones Act & Strategic Acquisition: By acquiring a shipyard within U.S. territory, Hanwha Ocean can bypass the 'Jones Act' restrictions, which require vessels operating between U.S. ports to be built in the U.S. This isn't just a physical expansion; it’s a strategic move to become a "Local Prime Contractor" for the U.S. Department of Defense.
  3. Future-Proofing with Autonomous Shipping: Hanwha’s expertise in autonomous navigation and eco-friendly propulsion (LNG/Ammonia) is expected to integrate with the U.S. Navy’s future "Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV)" projects. This is where Science meets Defense, creating a long-term valuation re-rating.

 

🎤 2. ACE K-POP Focus ETF: The Return of the Giants

I decided to invest in the ACE K-POP Focus ETF. 2026 is a massive year for the industry as BTS is set to make their long-awaited comeback after three years. Additionally, based on AI analysis, many "Rookie" girl groups are now entering their most profitable phase. This feels like the perfect time to capture the K-POP rebound.

🕶️ 3. Meta Platforms: Beyond Social Media

I bought into Meta Platforms. Their new Smart Glasses are gaining incredible traction. I was particularly impressed by tech YouTubers' reviews, some of whom even filmed themselves buying Meta stock during their reviews. The seamless integration of AI into wearable tech is a game-changer I didn't want to miss.

🤖 4. Tesla: The Convergence of Robotics and AI

I’ve added Tesla back into the mix. With the impending launch of their humanoid robot (Optimus) and the nearing commercialization of Robotaxis, Tesla is evolving far beyond an EV company. I believe the buzz surrounding SpaceX’s potential IPO this year will also serve as a positive catalyst for Tesla's sentiment.

🔄 Why I Sold: Rebalancing for Efficiency

  • IonQ: I decided to sell my position in IonQ. There is a famous trading proverb: "Don't look back at stocks that have fallen significantly." I judged that reallocating this capital to other high-momentum assets would yield better returns than waiting for a recovery.
  • Hyundai Motor: I briefly held Hyundai, but I exited after a sudden price dip. While I believe in its long-term growth, I found other investment opportunities more attractive at current price levels.

Closing Thoughts This week was all about moving capital into areas with high "conviction." Whether it's the defense industry or the next wave of AI wearables, staying flexible is key. Thank you for reading! :)

[Investment Diary #32] My Strategic Picks for Jan Week 2: Alphabet, Samsung, Space Tech, and the Return of Risk-on Sentiment

  Hello! This is Piry. :) Today, I’m sharing my 32nd investment diary, covering the second week of January. My portfolio saw some interesting shifts this week as I balanced individual blue-chip stocks with high-growth thematic ETFs. Here is a breakdown of my recent trades and market insights. 1. Betting on Giants: Alphabet (GOOGL) & Samsung Electronics I added Alphabet and Samsung Electronics to my portfolio this week. Alphabet: While I might consider a short-term exit later, I decided to buy in due to the incredible growth potential in Quantum Computing . Samsung Electronics: Samsung is showing positive signals across all its business divisions. While it’s hard to predict the exact peak, I believe now is the right timing if we are to see a further breakout. 2. Specialized Growth: 1Q US Aerospace & Tech ETF (Rocket Lab, etc.) I’ve made a strategic move into the 1Q US Aerospace & Tech sector. To be honest, I am not an expert...

[Nov 2025] Why is the Global Stock Market Shaking? Key Causes of the Crash and Future Outlook

  Hello, this is Piry, a blogger and Bitget influencer. :) Today, I want to discuss the synchronized global market downturn that has been keeping many investors awake. As of late November 2025, many of you might be feeling anxious looking at the "sea of blue" (losses) in your portfolios. I will break down why this is happening and where the market is headed from short, medium, and long-term perspectives. 📉 3 Core Reasons Behind the Current Market Slump The "fear" dominating the market in late 2025 isn't caused by a single factor. We are witnessing a 'Perfect Storm' of several negative catalysts. 1. The Aftershock of 'Tariff Bombs' from the Second Trump Administration The aggressive tariff policies that began earlier this year hit the market hard again in November. Specifically, as President Trump hinted at additional tariffs on certain allies and agricultural products, fears of a full-scale 'Trade War' have resurfaced, straining...
