The 32-year-old Mr. Kim’s room looks like a fund manager’s office. On one large monitor, the stock company’s home trading system (HTS) market price window, and on the other screen, YouTube stock streams are triggered and the group chat room screen opens to share information about stocks. Whenever information appears in the chat room, the share price and news are checked and the time of the trade is decided.

It is like the daily life of a full time investor, but it is a 6 year employee. Mr. Kim said, “Since the volatility of large-cap stocks has increased recently, we cannot take our eyes off the market.” “There are many cases of ups and downs of 10% in an hour. I have.”

Recently, there is a ‘big house (在 宅)’ wind among office workers. This is a change that happened when telecommuting was spread due to Corona 19. When I went to work, I had to go to the bathroom and check the stock market with the mobile trading system (MTS), but now I have an environment where I can freely consult the stock information at home. Some companies have received a notice to refrain from investing in stocks during heavy work hours.

Lim, 33, an 8-year-old office worker, appeared to be on a roller coaster on the 8th. This is because the Samsung Electronics share price started to skyrocket in the afternoon. He, who did not have a large part of Samsung Electronics, missed this moment and started buying immediately. He also contacted officials from the middle and middle financial investment industry to ask about the stock market outlook and whether it is time to buy Samsung Electronics. Mr. Lim said, “After starting to work from home, I made a chase purchase with an uncomfortable mind depending on the market price, so the investment amount has increased by 50% compared to before.”

There were times when working from home generated travel time and this period was used as an opportunity for self-development. Shim (31), who started investing in stocks with extra money when he couldn’t travel or shop, said: “Outside of business hours, I turn on a YouTube channel like a radio broadcast and listen to lectures on how to read financial statements, etc. In Internet”. It seems to be useful for self-development because I study companies in the time I waste on them ”.
