High earnings growth & dividends, deserves higher then market valuation.

Notes: March 28 '08

Here I show how the 2nd recent running model portfolio performed over the past difficult 5 months. Why 5 months? Because it’s a good test case on this newly upgraded web site where we have implemented a fairly easy to upload such spread sheets.  And two, because the past 5 months have proven among the most difficult in many years for investors world wide, due to the horrific fall out in US sub-prime mortgages.  Its time to look back and rate how you have fared.  Fully noting that Thai smaller cap's, overall and despite the big drop in TIES, performed satisfactory.  TIES was our biggest disaster ever. Read my member updates on TIES since.

 Integral Footnotes:

I added the dividend to the above closing prices and in Demco's case added 0.30 for a conservative amount on what the freely issued warrants are worth when listed. Note also that during time I was most bullish on TRC and around 4 Baht "pounded the table" on DEMCO.
