A micro cap with high growth, low valuation and decent dividend.

Exports numbers for Thailand recently are strong again and electronic seems to be a bit in vogue.  Here is an original member article first published on September 16 '05.

CPNRF fund, I say switch into the TFUND

TFUND (9.95) owns the factories and so is a superior fund in my view. Besides the current yield is higher on recent market trading prices -and there are no leaseholds issues. This shows  yet again why smaller is often more rewarding, when it comes to SET investing.

Three new selections to my current model portfolio.

With the SET in a probable bottoming process, I now chose to go out on a limb and add three new ideas to my model portfolio. TCB, SE-ED and SEAFCO. Here is why. Today marks the first time I alter my previously advocated sole selection, since last October 27 "04.

Shipping stocks sink and an analysis stink.

Shipping stocks take a dire hit. I for one here stated for some time to avoid them; despite most all brokers here being bullish on this sector.

I had a chance recently to review some of the English equity research of National Finance NFS (NatSEC) on Ticon and again am amazed on...
