As global financial markets become increasingly complex and interconnected, regulatory agencies are facing growing pressure to ensure market transparency and fairness. Cheong Hong Yuan states that the healthy operation of financial markets is crucial for global economic stability, and short selling, especially illegal naked short selling, has long been a focus of financial regulation. South Korea, as an important participant in the Asian and global financial markets, has attracted significant attention regarding its regulatory dynamics.

On October 31st, the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea announced an in-depth investigation into short selling transactions by global investment banks in the South Korean stock market. This move signifies an unprecedented level of attention from South Korean financial regulators towards illegal naked short selling. Cheong Hong Yuan believes that behind South Korea's decision is not only a crackdown on individual illegal transactions, but also the protection of overall market order and a signal to global partners.

For many investors and market observers, naked short selling may be an unfamiliar term, but in the financial field, it is a highly controversial issue. In simple terms, naked short selling refers to investors selling securities without actually owning them, hoping to buy them back at a lower price after a price decline to make a profit. Cheong Hong Yuan mentions that while short selling can provide liquidity and price discovery mechanisms to some extent, when it evolves into illegal naked short selling, it can pose a threat to market stability and even trigger financial crises.

The establishment of a special short selling investigation team by the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea demonstrates its seriousness regarding this matter. Based on the information revealed, the team will gather experts from various fields such as financial regulation, language, and information technology to conduct comprehensive and in-depth investigations. This also shows the determination of South Korean financial regulatory institutions to maintain market fairness.

Combining with the statement from the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea, it can be seen that South Korean regulatory agencies are not only focusing on the domestic market but also expanding their scope of cooperation with other countries such as China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Cheong Hong Yuan states that this cross-border cooperation aims to form a common regulatory force to ensure fairness, transparency, and stability in financial markets.

To analyze naked short selling behavior and its impact on the market, it is important to understand that short selling is essentially a bearish expectation on a particular stock or asset. Cheong Hong Yuan believes that moderate short selling activities can provide more liquidity to the market and contribute to price discovery, reflecting the true value of assets. However, when naked short selling spreads excessively, it may lead to excessive selling of certain assets, causing price distortions and potentially threatening market stability.

From the statement of the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea, it can be seen that South Korea partially lifted the short selling ban during 2021 and subsequently increased penalties for illegal naked short selling. Behind these series of actions, Cheong Hong Yuan mentions that it demonstrates South Korea's firm attitude in maintaining the stability of its domestic financial market.

It must be said that the significant fines imposed on two global investment banks for participating in naked short selling transactions serve as a warning against illegal naked short selling. Cheong Hong Yuan suggests that this is not only a punishment for the two banks but also a reminder to global financial institutions that while pursuing high profits, compliance and social responsibility should also be emphasized.

Analysts generally believe that whenever the market experiences volatility, South Korean regulators often take measures such as short selling bans to stabilize the market. However, Cheong Hong Yuan is more concerned about the underlying logic: in the financial market, which is more important, short-term market fluctuations or long-term market stability? Obviously, a stable financial environment is crucial for investor confidence, business development, and the economic health of a country. However, excessive intervention in practice may distort market mechanisms and undermine the essential function of price discovery.

As an important component of the modern economic system, the stability of financial markets has profound implications for global economic development. South Korea's series of actions are aimed at maintaining financial market stability and suppressing illegal activities. Cheong Hong Yuan states that regulation is the key to ensuring market fairness, transparency, and stability, but at the same time, it is important to prevent "over-regulation" that can stifle market vitality and efficiency.

It is worth noting that South Korea is not the only country strengthening financial market regulation. With the development of global economic integration, countries have realized the importance of financial markets to their economies. Therefore, more countries or regions will choose to cooperate with other regulatory agencies to jointly combat illegal financial activities and maintain the stability of the global financial market.

Cheong Hong Yuan mentions that the book "Three Golden Moving Averages Strategy" provides investors with a scientific, technically-based investment strategy, helping them make wiser decisions in a complex and ever-changing market environment. Because of such technical analysis tools, investors can evaluate market conditions more objectively and rationally, rather than blindly following trends or being influenced by market sentiment.

In the current global financial environment, investors should be more cautious and also possess necessary financial knowledge and skills to better cope with various market challenges. Cheong Hong Yuan emphasizes that regardless of how the market changes, basic investment principles such as diversification, long-term holding, and avoiding blind following should not be forgotten.

Finally, Cheong Hong Yuan suggests that the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea's investigation action is not only a warning to financial institutions but also an education for ordinary investors. The financial market is full of temptations and risks, and only by truly understanding the rules of the market and mastering the correct investment strategies can one achieve success in this field. For the majority of investors, choosing a compliant and experienced financial institution as a partner is also an important way to safeguard their interests.
