[North Korea, shelling provocation at the DMZ… … Aim at the loudspeaker]
Along with the news of North Korea’s artillery bombardment, the stock index began to plummet all at once.
The speed at which the all-blue graph goes down is so fast that it feels unrealistic even if you are looking at it yourself.
However, North Korea’s artillery provocation was only a signal that signaled the beginning of this incident.

Each time a new breaking news is added, the KOSPI index sinks to a deeper bottom.
“5%! 5% off already! Oh no. It went up to 6% while talking!”
Park Tae-sik, who was watching the chart from the side, couldn’t control his excitement from earlier and was shaking his butt.
Honestly, it’s because I don’t show off, but I’m excited too.
I wanted to scream right away, but I was just holding back because I wasn’t sure yet.
‘We’re almost there. Almost all.’
I move my trembling fingertips to close the KOSPI chart and check the status of the defense stocks I put in.
Bitstech – KRW 6,600 ▲13.52%
Spec Korea – KRW 720 ▲3.80%
First Tech – KRW 2,450 ▲7.51%
Hu & Co – KRW 12,800 ▲5.50%
Core Need – KRW 5,570 ▲1.8%
The stock price was soaring without a single outlier.
Investors have noticed now. North Korea’s provocation this time is not a matter that will end with a simple happening.
‘thank god. The future I knew hasn’t changed.’
It was only after confirming the trend of the stock price that the burden on my heart became lighter.
It was inevitable because North Korea’s bombardment was an inevitable event, but the KOSPI decline and defense industry stocks skyrocketed in connection with it were in the realm of my prediction.
“after… … .”
I leaned my tense upper body on the bed. Now that this trend will continue for a while, I thought I would take it easy and watch the situation.
Unlike me, however, Park Tae-sik is still nervous and can’t take his eyes off the phone screen.
“Woohyuk. It seems to have risen quite a bit now, but shouldn’t I sell it?”
“Just hold on and wait. Today is not the time.”
“Jonber? What does that mean?”
It belatedly reminded me that the word johnber became famous during the Bitcoin frenzy.
Of course, it’s not a word that didn’t exist before, but it felt like a slang used only by certain community sites or gamers.
“You can roughly think of it as burrowing and waiting.”
“If it’s a burrow, it’s what Star uses, right?”
“that’s right.”
“It’s a strange buzzword.”
It was moderately evasive, but I think I need to be careful in choosing the words I spit out from now on.
Because I absolutely wanted to avoid letting others know that I was a regressor.

3:30 pm.
It is the time when the domestic stock market closes.
Off-hours trading is still possible after this, but the price fluctuations are not as large as during the official opening hours.
We had a late lunch and dinner delivered after the market closed.
The menu is sushi and yukhoe.
I wanted to eat a light hamburger, but Park Tae-shik insisted on buying me something expensive, so I ended up having this lunch.
“Hey, North Koreans. Still making that fuss To be beaten by American brothers like that.”
Park Tae-shik could not take his eyes off the TV while inhaling sushi.
I couldn’t help it because the breaking news reported in real time was all provocative that the North Korean military was taking military action or issued an evacuation order for residents.

“Woohyuk, but it’s really amazing.”
“what?”
“How can everything fit together exactly as you said? where did that info come from? It’s not just plain internet sh*t, is it?”
I knew that one day this question would come up. I present the answer that I have prepared in advance.
“hmm… … I didn’t say it because I thought you wouldn’t believe it. Ever since I got a head injury, I kept seeing something in my dreams.”
“What did you see?”
“The president’s attendance at China’s Victory Day and North Korea’s second provocation.”
Normally, it would have been a snort, but now there was a plausible version.
What if you still don’t believe it? At that time, if you cry hard, it’s enough. There would be no other way to verify it.
“Isn’t that a precognitive dream?”
“It seemed to feel almost the same.”
“and! you kill me! How do the contents of the foresight look? If you think you want to see it, do you just see it as a dream? Or just some? If you can keep watching this, won’t you become rich with our stocks?”
To believe this straight away, without any doubt?
“Hey, calm down.”
“How do you calm this down? I thought my friend was a freaking precognition!”
I didn’t believe my words, so I was prepared to cry, but I never expected that I would believe it so easily.
A sigh comes first. I never thought my friend would be such a single-celled guy.
“Listen. that… … Dreams aren’t as great as you think. It’s just a little bit of a feeling for a random event.”
“That alone is amazing!”
Park Tae-shik closes his mouth for a moment and rolls his eyeballs here and there. Then he looked me in the eye and said.
“Did you see my future?”
“I definitely saw that. why? I want to know?”
“no. I didn’t mean to tell you. that… … Somehow I feel like I shouldn’t know.”
“I’ll just let you know.”
The guy hurriedly shook his head, shaking his hands. But it was already too late to shut my mouth.
“You will go bald in the future.”
“lie!”
“This precognitive dream is 100%. From the age of 30, the crown of the head gradually becomes empty, and at some point it peels off.”
“No, why is this dream so detailed?”
of course. I have seen it with my own two eyes.
“Is there anything else besides that? Things like my future success and becoming a man of great wealth, or marrying a celebrity-like beauty.”
“That side was as dark as the bottom of the deep sea.”
“Hey… … I said I didn’t want to know because of this.”
In fact, I know almost all of Park Tae-shik’s other futures.
Around this time, the guy loses a lot of money in stocks, and he is in a position where he can’t even have a decent relationship, let alone get married, until his mid-30s to pay off the debt.
‘Even in the midst of that, he came to visit me every now and then, and he also put in yeongchi gold.’
Looking back on it, I am really grateful. If it had not been for Park Tae-sik, I might have made an extreme choice while incarcerated.
Park Tae-shik was a friend and benefactor to me.
And now I got a chance to repay that guy.
“Taesik, let’s do well.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? you… … Did you see anything else strange?”
I patted the back of the guy who was staring at me with a bewildered expression and said.
“Let’s just do our best.”

As soon as I wake up in the morning, I pick up my phone from my bedside table.
Of course, it was the portal’s breaking news menu that I checked while forcing my half-closed eyes to open.
[North Korea’s ultimatum “Stop psychological warfare against North Korea within 48 hours”]
[The North Korean army seems to have entered into preparations for military action]
[Confirmation of the opening of the gun gates of the Hwanghae-do coast]
[Evacuate 880 residents of Hwacheon-gun first]
Looking at the added breaking news content, it seems that North Korea has been quite agitated during the night.
It was me, I slept comfortably because I knew nothing was going to happen, but the people living in the border area must have been in a lot of trouble.
Tok.
I put down my phone and try to get up, but I see a black guy next to me.
It wasn’t just the residents of the border area who couldn’t sleep. Park Tae-sik was sitting on a simple chair with bloodshot eyes.
“What’re you doing? Didn’t you sleep last night?”
“I couldn’t sleep, so I just slept through the night.”
The guy brings the laptop he was looking at just before me.
“I had nothing to do overnight, so I organized the contents of the foreign press yesterday. It will be a little helpful because it was culled from the contents that were reported in Korea.”
“Um… … .”
“I know it doesn’t help much. Still, that’s the only thing I can do.”
“no. The more information, the better.”
I bring my laptop closer and go through the organized articles.
Foreign media articles mainly focused on military movements and views on the current situation in the United States.
In particular, the article that the fighters of the US Air Force and Navy were ready to sortie surprised me.
‘There were so many military movements of the US Army during this situation. I was completely unaware.’
If the US forces had moved this far, North Korea would feel a considerable threat. So, rather than provoking more here, I would like to agree on a line that takes care of proper pride.
Unfortunately, today is Friday, so the next two days are closed. I had to sell the stock today even in terms of risk management.
I returned the notebook to Park Tae-sik and said.
“I’m going to rob all stocks today. Get ready.”
The KOSPI index fell more than 2% even before opening.
Even after that, the market was full of bad news, so there are rumors about how much more the price will drop in online discussion forums.
“Woohyuk, the market is open! All the way down!”
As everyone expected, the KOSPI index fell to the bottom at the same time as the opening.
A bear market close to panic did not discriminate between large and small stocks. At least, the only stock holding up in red was the defense stock we bought.
‘What can I do? Can I hold more?’
Even while thinking about it for a while, the KOSPI index continued to decline at a terrifying pace.
Even in the portal news, which only poured out breaking news related to North Korea, it was now reported about the decline in the KOSPI.
[According to the Korean exchange, the KOSPI index on this day fell 38.52 points from the previous day… … It’s at a record low for the year.]
Looking at the accumulation of bad news and stock price movements, it seems like the right decision for holding stocks.
However, the stock price trend after North Korea’s second provocation is beyond prediction.
When you think that it is virtually no different from gambling, the lingering attachment to the stocks you hold disappears.
“Taesik, it is now. Let’s sell everything.”
“Should I split it up and sell it?”
“I do not need. Just throw it all in one shot!”
We didn’t have a lot of stock, so the sell order was quickly filled.

It is a report card of selling and accepting all stocks.
It was recorded in the stock account that it made a profit of 335 million won, but if the profit from credit transactions is added, the actual profit is higher than that.
‘If you subtract 236 million won in loans from 720 million won in holdings… … My share is about 480 million won.’
Considering that the cash I had was only 40 million won, the actual return on investment was more than 12 times.
12x your investment in just two days.
It is an investment result that is absurd even if I try it.
If I had more than 40 million won in my spare money, I would have been able to make billions and hundreds of billions of profits.
‘This is the power of the future information I have.’
There was a difference as much as heaven and earth between simply thinking that it would be money and actually having numbers stamped on the bankbook.
After experiencing the power of destructive information, I thought that I couldn’t be satisfied with this anymore.
‘Can I make a bigger profit with the information I have?’
Surprisingly, the answer was found nearby.
I approach Park Tae-shik, who is looking at his phone with an excited expression, and put my arm around his shoulder.
“Taesik, let’s go in one more time.”
“what? now?”
“Okay, this time it goes the other way.”
