I have recently changed my view on Ticon from a "strong buy view below 10", to now a "buy view", at the current price of 9.70. Read here why. I still prominently feature Ticon in my model portfolio giving it a full 50% weighing with the other 50% going into...
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.
With HMPRO's stock price at least 50% above as compared to a year ago, when I favorably wrote about this selection, I am now getting more cautious and today here note so.
Rojana (6.85) is now rated as a "strong buy" in my view, evenwhile it does have close to 300 million warrants outstanding. This was not mentioned in a favorable Bangkok Post write-up on Monday, April 4th -and yet is worthy of some attention and understanding.

With Ticon up 75% what is one to do now? Well, that depends what kind of investor you are and how early and how much you got a hold of my favorite sole choice here, since October last year.
