Financial Investor seminars, or sales pitches?

When/if attending so called Financial Investor seminars.

When attending so called financial seminars do these explain or at least touch on the often smaller cap. stocks investor advantage individuals can have?  Do they explain or at least touch on the often inept or outright conflict of interest many brokers/marketing officers may have towards retail investors?  Do they empower you, as seen from your investment interest;  or are they just gearing up toward selling you some new investor product?  These should be among the real tests on viability, credibility and objective validity of so called flourishing investor conferences...,yet too often turned into a sales pitch in disguise.

China's coming QE/Thai Renewable Energy

August 31 2015

In recent years there has been a virtual boom in renewable energy in Thailand.  Select companies' stock in this sector have tripled and more since say year 2012, surpassing the local index change by a huge margin.  But neither the EFT's nor Quant's would have picked these up,  as they came from basically nowhere. Thailand is the leader in renewable energy but none of the leading firms in this sector are so called large cap stocks, so they get all but ignored by the institutions.. to their peril.

In past years stock investors around the world have learned to be bullish on equities fueled by massive QE, first in the US, then in Japan and Europe. Today we know it was foolish to go against that mega-trend.  Ie. "Don't fight the Fed".  An old Wall Street saying.

China is now going on a massive EQ, or Equity QEasing.  Where it will reflate stock prices through massive EQeasing.  Will it so now be equally foolish to fight that trend by being China stocks bearish, at this point?  I tend to think so.  Let the bearish view ponder over this.

Introduction/The end of an era.

Thaistocks.com has been about rational & value investing, since 1997.  April 30 '2024 marks its 27th anniversary:  At which time I will end my running this site and resign....and so offering this best-name & long lasting site/URL  for sale.     

We are not, ever were investment nor financial advisors/nor fund managers  -just publishers of unbiased, experienced & long professional viewpoints with 30+years of  experience.   As from the start, always, I here only publish my own unbiased view points". Sans plus.       "Integrity has always been my competitive advantage".   

March 25th:  Predatory consumer lending at often very high usury rates is a real problem in Thailand…because Thai banks here are so stingy/difficult in providing any biz. loans to small operators, often only on submitting land title deed for collateral.  Hence these many finance co. have all but taken-over on such with their double digit + loan interest rates.

March 14th 2024:  Investing is not the same as trading which is most often the same as speculating. One reason why the Thai SET is hovering around 30-year lows, as is Thai retail investing participation. Its in good part because brokers directly and indirectly promote trading/speculating which in time so often creates losses -and so fleeing retail investors.            

January 26th '24:   Regarding the BKK Post article on "SET president optimistic...
