He played Micron earlier this year and sold twice because the stock kept hitting his price target. Now, Micron is relatively expensive. 50% of this ETF is Hynix and Samsung, which is how to access these names; it's cheaper to own Hynix here than in the US market. EWY is a great diversification away from the US.
Whatever happens in the US affects the rest of the world. He wouldn't recommend emerging markets, as they tend to underperform if/when there's a recession.
Investors would be better off buying the best companies in the German market, rather than the whole German market. Germany's the 4th-largest economy in the world, but it's had a bunch of issues with its own deficit and economic slowdown. He owns specific stocks in Europe.
South Korean stocks are undervalued. The economy is resilient, having endured Covid well and totally integrated into world supply chains. It's benefitted from some supply chain shift away from China. South Korea is attracting more foreign capital flows. Samsung is EWY's biggest holding at 22%.
