From the difference between expected wealth and compounded growth to the dangers of excessive leverage, we examined why theoretically optimal strategies can still lead to substantial losses.

One of BSIC’s distinctive activities, General Disc One of BSIC’s distinctive activities, General Discussions (GDs) bring our research to life. During our weekly meetings, members present and explain the articles they have written, creating an opportunity for the entire club to ask questions, challenge assumptions, exchange perspectives and deepen their understanding of financial markets.

As demand for AI computing accelerates, memory manufacturers are experiencing unprecedented growth and supply constraints. But could today’s shortages become tomorrow’s oversupply? Our discussion examined the evolving balance between memory capacity and bandwidth, the implications of changing AI workloads, and the potential consequences for industry leaders such as SK hynix.
