		Foreigners' investment share in Kosdaq is mere 20 percent, while that with the Korea Stock Exchange stands at 44 percent.
		The Kosdaq market will recover naturally when the deserted Teheran Valley (Teheran Street in Seoul, where a lot of venture companies are located) is filled up with technological companies of clout.

		The KOSDAQ, modelled on the NASDAQ of the United States, is one of major markets for the direct raising of capital for domestic companies along with the country's senior exchange, the Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), and the over-the-counter market.

		Venture businesses seek KOSDAQ registration because for them the strict qualification standards of the KSE pertaining to length of time in operation, paid-in capital, net capital, total assets, number of permanent employees and financial statements don't apply.

	SSRN-A Comparison of Earnings Management Between KSE Firms and KOSDAQ Firms by Soon Suk Yoon
		A sample of 1,256 KSE and 577 KOSDAQ firm-year observations is used to compare earnings management practices of firms listed in the two different stock exchanges.
		KOSDAQ firms generally tend to increase reported earnings more aggressively than KSE firms when their operating cash flows are poor, and play down their reported earnings more when their operating cash flows are exceptionally good.
		The results of the study are quite robust in the sense that more aggressive earnings management practices of KOSDAQ firms persist even when operating cash flows are controlled.
