Stock buy-back programs, its time has come now!

Submitted by PaulRen on Mon, 25/08/2008 - 5:31am

Select listed companies on the SET and MAI should now consider purchasing back some of their own shares, in the market place at low average prices. This is called treasury stock and is legal on local exchange rules with some stipulations.

Reminiscing into August on "what went wrong by us remaining long", into this sell off.  How to rationally decide in a irrational investment market still too often led by US fallouts. Recent Thai legal events suggest a change of the past. Many investors will welcome this.

SET larger cap's now attractive -and some evidence from the past.

Submitted by PaulRen on Sun, 06/07/2008 - 9:59am

With the SET below 750 just now, there are no doubt some huge investment bargains among larger cap. SET stocks; not only the smaller cap growth companies I like to dwell on.

On web archived evidence,  in how they confirm what many websites posted in the past, or not.

On historical erroneous beliefs and other misleading notions.

Truth, half truths and fallacies. Here I review how history got it wrong -and how the current gnomes in their high towers of high offices let us believe yet another fallacy. If any inflation is bad, near none is not good either.  Prudence leading to over-prudence to their benefit.

What is the primary function of an exchange?

Submitted by PaulRen on Wed, 14/05/2008 - 6:39am

Long term investors are a fussy bunch when it comes to data assumed correct but then turns out false. It induces a lack of confidence, when it should be the opposite.  I so dare to ask: What is a stock exchange's principal function?

Method results in wrong numbers, a continuation.

Submitted by PaulRen on Sat, 10/05/2008 - 5:34am

Here is the continuation of the issue on how the SET/MAI seems to wrongly report the indicated dividend yield and p/e ratio's shown on its official web sites and then so reported by local business newspapers. 

No matter what the methodology, if the result end-up wrong its a bad method.

A member posting showing wrong SET numbers.

Submitted by PaulRen on Thu, 08/05/2008 - 3:54am

Checking local business newspapers or even the SET's official web site is no guarantee that the p/e ratio's or the indicated current dividend yield of a listed security is accurate.  Here is how one member posted such inadequacy at our member forum.  We so ask: is wrong data not worse then...
