After the company visit, a change of opinion.

I had a good visit with UKEM last week and based on this, today change my shorter term outlook to a hold on UKEM. Hence, today I wish to announce a change/switch from UKEM to into UEC, as I view UEC has better shorter/medium prospects. Read my reasons why and...

Ticon an update, post latest BOT measures.

Here is an update on Ticon whose management I just re-visited. I also make some comments on the TFUND, where I remain a fan for income seeking investors.

I now rate Ticon now as "a long term buy", which is a change from the previous "strong buy" view.

City, don"t leave town without it.

Yet, another visit in person to a smaller cap SET company where my view remains a strong buy.

Higher then average growth, no debt and cash in the bank, majority market share in an important industry. And with its new factory in place now good visibility for future growth...

Khun Chaiwat stressed the point twice that Thailand is running out of lignite coal -and that his company would surely benefit greatly from that fact. As soo many more customers are converting to using coal now, vs. oil for power, electric and steam generation.

This is the reason...

Another high grower at low valuation and high expected dividends.

TLUXE" s ROE has just recently seen a jump to 21.5% last
year which carried forward to the 1 Quarter of 2006 and I think
it will continue at this impressive level or may possibly even
increase.

Economies of scale are picking up and the time has...
