Silk Road leads to South Korea
2008-09-15 07:00:00 'We're defensive on Asia for now, but taking small positions in growth stocks beginning to offer value, such as Shinhan Financial (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=shg) (NYSE: SHG (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=shg))," says Yiannis Mostrous (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2364) in The Silk Road Investor (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2364).&ld-quo;Contrary to expectations, tShinhan Financial reported a solid second quarter. Besides beating profit expectations (KW791 billion), Shinhan was able to reduce costs and slightly increase fee-based income. “These numbers are even more important given the general difficulties the financial sector has been experiencing. “In addition, asset quality remained solid, and the group didn’t report elevated delinquency numbers.

Same Again In Shanghai
2008-09-13 10:36:00 There was no Shanghai Surprise. The only surprise was that some thought it was going to be any different. It could have been worse though, that was the one consolation for the few South Korean fans who, late Wednesday evening, had sat through a typically turgid Korean Derby. 1-1 was the score between the near neighbors in their 2010 World Cup qualification match in China.There were less than 1,000 fans present in Shanghai's Hongkou Stadium - a far cry from the 25,000 plus that watched March's match. Apart from the loss of the novelty factor as well as the will to live, the main reason for the difference in the fact that North Korea hiked ticket prices by around 500% for the cheapest tickets -the 'hosts'(the game had been moved from Pyongyang to Shanghai after communist authorities in North Korea refused to fly the southern flag and play the anthem) didn't want their fans to be as heavily outnumbered as before.The tie was the fourth straight stalemate between the two rivals in 2...

Shanghai Surprise? Not Likely...
2008-09-08 14:01:00 South Korea restarts its journey on the road to South Africa and the 2010 World Cup tonight in Shanghai. Pyongyang was supposed to be the location but the qualifier against North Korea has been moved to China as the communist authorities in the DPRK capital refused to fly the Taegukki or play the Aegukga. It is the final round of qualification for the quadrennial football-fest. South Korea has participated in the last six tournaments and failure to make it a magnificent seventh doesn?t bear thinking about for footy-lovers in a nation that is currently bananas about baseball. The loss of prestige, sponsorships, experience, money and jobs would hit Korean football hard. Ten Asian nations, in football terms this includes Australia, have been split into two groups of five. The top two in each group automatically book their berths in South Africa. The two third-place teams face each other for the right to take on Oceania?s representative, probably New Zealand, in a winners-takes-all play...

Sloppy Korea Making Hard Work Of Qualification
2008-06-02 16:45:00 ?I couldn?t understand it? said South Korean coach Huh Jung-moo last Saturday night.He wasn?t alone. Around 55,000 people in Seoul World Cup Stadium were also scratching their heads and shouting their disapproval after watching the national team somehow allow Jordan to come back and draw 2-2 in a qualification match for the 2010 World Cup.It had looked so good ?the situation that is. The performance was nothing special but early in the second half, South Korea was leading 2-0 thanks to a goal from Manchester United?s Park Ji-sung that brought the house down and then a penalty from Park Chu-young that seemed to have brought the curtain down on the fixture with the middle-eastern team ranked 104 in the world by FIFA.Then it all went wrong. Substitute Hasan Abdel-Fattah scored with Jordan?s second attack of the match after 72 minutes. Then the Korean players lost their heads and shape. Seven minutes later, the whole Korean backline may as well have been at the anti-US beef protests in ...

2008-05-27 11:27:00 The build-up for South Korea?s summer series of qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup started the minute Park Ji-sung arrived at Incheon International Airport last Saturday, dressed in the words of some reports, "like a model" in a white jacket and pink shirt. All attention had been centred on Park?s non-appearance in the UEFA Champions League final on May 21 when Manchester United defeated Chelsea. That is all in the past now as Park told reporters at the arrival gate: ?Qualification for the World Cup is now my biggest goal.?South Korea continues its journey along the road to the 2010 World Cup on Saturday with a home match against Jordan at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Saturday.

War Of Words In North And South Korea
2008-04-02 09:00:00 The war of words continues to escalate in North and South Korea as both sides found themselves responding to comments by the other. North Korea was upset at comments made by a South Korean general who said his nation would militarily respond if attacked from the north. The paranoid North Korean government interpreted his remarks as a threat and warned they would unleash a sea of fire that would destroy South Korea. Part of the problem stems from the election to the office of president of Lee Myung-bak, who had campaigned on a platform of being more pragmatic and clear in dealing with North Korea. His comments were interpreted in the North as representing a shift from the past 10 years in which South Korean governments have attempted to develop positive economic relations with the Communist North. The South Korean president should never forget he is dealing with a paranoid government and they must be handled with care and diplomatic use of language. North Korea fired som missiles in...

All Set For Korea Derby In Shanghai
2008-03-25 07:38:00 Any meeting between the two Koreas on the football pitch is special but the fact that it is a qualifier for the 2010 World Cup adds a good deal of hot pepper sauce to an already unique dish of that old Korean favourite bibimbap.Temperatures were certainly rising recently as North Korea refused to play the Aegukka or fly the Taegukki at the massive Kim Sung-Il Stadium in Pyongyang. An offer of a rendition of Arirang and a joint flag didn?t fly at the Seoul offices of the Korean Football Association. The administrators opened FIFA?s rulebook and pointed to the relevant clause that requests all nations hosting World Cup qualifiers to provide both flags and anthems. The game?s global governing body decided to move the game to Shanghai.FIFA didn?t punish Pyongyang for its refusal to play by the rules but playing in China certainly takes away advantages from the ?hosts?.
