New "dividend horses" year 2026, model portfolio.

Due to my strong investor conviction on December 31 midnight here, I will upload for members a new 2026 year model portfolio for the first time in many years.

Offsetting-correlation. Opposites attract.

Here is my basic case why invest in select quality/reputable high dividend yielding non-biggest cap. Thai stocks:   Offsetting-correlation. Opposites attract. 

One of the attractions of gold is that it often moves opposite to generally perceived "good news". It can be proven in portfolio-theory that investments which do not move in tandem are a great way to reduce investors risks, i.e. volatility. US centric investors may not have fully grasped this -beyond gold.  The shortcoming with gold is that it has 0 current yield, so no "invisible-hand" to help holding it up, i.e. no income if/when times turn bad.  Emerging mkts. like oversold Thailand have such very, very different companies than the US, while yielding far, far higher current dividends...and at 1/4 or less US p/e ratios. (Average dividend yields on US stock is barely 1.2%).   If there was a US set back or a bubble burst there, as there always is in time,...these, as I know them, would hold-up far better I am convinced, as they are soo different and soo far removed -in all ways. Besides not least, for years already so under-owned!  Paul A. Renaud. www.thaistocks.com

Thaistocks.com -Free unbiased insights.

April 30th 2026, market the 29th anniversary of Thaistocks.com   Now my posted insights here are for Free. (See further below for my first investor idea here shared.)

Over the past 30 years I visited -in person over 160 Thai listed companies, posted many dozens of diversified model portfolios here and regular -added-value unbiased articles -for contributing members. At the SET market-bottom during Covit-19, I made the bullish call here, only to then turn "SET bearish", a couple of years later.

Here is a recent strong bullish view/analysis on a very undervalued stock below 4 Baht while yielding 10% in present dividends, and why earnings will keep growing, in my opinion:   https://thaistocks.com/content/here-my-encore-pylon-324-strong-buy-view

Yet, during the past few years I witnessed more and more a dominant speculative/punter driven bias on a few select Thai big cap. stocks, while mostly neglecting all else.   This came as I see it to a nadir point....as in the meantime very high dividend yields only rose more, on many of the neglected rest.  Today the Thai SET has the distinction of commanding the highest so called "yield gap", anywhere!   

Where Thai bank interest rates on saving accounts linger around 0.3%, while the over-traded dominant big caps', dividend yielding barely more.  In big contrast to many quality secondary companies here commanding dividend yields of 7% and higher, even while Thai inflation...
