01 / Meet at Noon

Replay: An Interest-Rate Lecture and Investment Principles

Guests: Lee Gwang-su · Park Si-dong · Kwon Da-young
Fan-edited summary · English translation

With markets closed for Hangeul Day, this replay reassembles the September 11 interest-rate lecture and the October 2 segment on investment principles rather than offering fresh market analysis. The first part explains the relationship between interest rates and bond prices; the second discusses the importance of planning, keeping records and managing risk in long-term investing. Both segments present the participants’ educational views at the time, not investment advice.
