Talk about investing in the U.S. stock market.

More and more Korean investors are investing in the U.S. stock market. But for the U.S. stock market, they often have to do their information gathering in English to learn about companies or the market. Of coures, there are news channels and YouTube channels where Korean experts throw light on U.S. stocks. But it's also good to find video clips or articles to study on one's own.

If you want to invest in a company, you should keep an eye on the earnings report for each quarter. Then you need to figure out the company's future growth potential and business prospects. Rather than trying to turn a profit through short-term investments, it's better to plan investements in the long term.

While you can invest yourself, you can also invest indirectly through an exchange traded fund, or ETF. This is a type of fund designed to link the rate of return to the ups and downs of certain stock indices.

Are you investing in U.S. stocks?

Yeah. I got into it early last year.

Is your rate of return okay?

It's not bad. But I'm investing in the long term.

Where do you get your news about Wall Street?

I mostly use U.S. cable news channels.
