Not all REIT’s are created equal!

Investors in new Thai REIT's here must be careful not to get into a possible long term "investor trap" of leased rather then owned properties.

Where the lease contract of properties held by a fund does not have a "sinking fund" provision. Some REIT’s long term lease rather then own...

A review of my investment strategy, at mid-year.

Prime upper scale global real estate is in a bull market in select locations, which is most probably overextended in the US; but more like in the early to mid-cycle in various other desirable & select...

Cooling down on Petrochemical stocks.

China is bringing on huge new capacity in this sector (namely ethylene) over the next few years, and far more then the country itself is in need of.  I think a similar situation is developing in Iran.  If oil prices peak, so will this sector.

Rojana’s outstanding warrants.

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.

Refusing to get sidetracked.

As I see it,  investing in Ticon common shares is more then just “owning one stock”.  It is an indirect property ownership in over 150 factories in 11 different industrial zones, all around Bangkok.  Short of a huge & broad market sell off,  it is difficult to see what exactly the realistic risks...
