Thai stock market course week 2

The Thai stock market has had a fabulous bull run over the past 12-18 months. The excitement that the SET witnessed over the past 1-2 years has been largely ignored by the foreign media and so many foreign investors are still unaware of
Thailand?s superior investment performance. A combination of low interest rates & inflation, stable politics, and an increasingly strong economic recovery have resulted in an upward surge in corporate earnings -and so stock prices. This overall positive trend in earnings and share prices is expected to resume this year as the short but negative effects of Bird Flu are the shaken off . Now is another opportunity to invest selectively in our view. Note that many smaller cap value shares have been in an upward phase for many years.

It does appear to us the Thai bull market has not been derailed and Thaistocks.com predicts the SET index will go much higher in time. In past bull markets SET shares have traded at much higher valuation, even while domestic interest rates were much higher then now.

One of the main reasons behind Thaistocks.com purpose is to eliminate the many unknowns, myths and misunderstandings surrounding
Thailand’s stock market. There are too many misunderstandings surrounding the local stock exchange!

The Thai economy is a resurging and diverse economy that has in many ways learned from its past mistakes.

To date it is more domestic driven by high consumer spending then in the past, yet still has an ever-expanding global export sector. Many foreigners do not realize some important facts. For example,
Thailand is the world’s fifth largest food producer and besides food is dominant in! a number of other industries, like just for a few examples: drinking glass production, car and electronic products and footwear.

There are a number of key advantages to investing in Thai shares. For example, there are no Thai capital gains taxes in
Thailand to individual investors. Broker commission rates are very low at 0.25% and there is only a 10% tax withholding on dividends. Some companies even pay tax free dividends. Setting up a trading/investing broker account is easy. Investors can even set up a US dollar based Thai broker account in Hong Kong and so do not have to worry at all about currency risk on cash holdings, or repatriation of capital when its time to move on.

The key to superior investment returns is in having more then one source of stock market research, Thaistocks.com provides objective and non biased professional opinions since 1997.
