Some reflections looking back the past 27 years -on Thai stocks and Thaistocks.com

For many years in the past I regularly visited Thai listed companies in person. 

Often with its CEO or CFO. at times touring it factories/facilities, some 160 overall.  I endured regular traffic-congestion, even once in a Taxi traffic accident, and at times missed flights -and yes on rare occasion outright misleading statements by...

Biggest dichotomy on the Thai stock exchange, untold.

The biggest dichotomy on the Thai stock exchange yet just about never pointed out -neither by brokers nor the business press here.  Nor anybody else.

The end of an era. Even while investor wise it worked out well.

A short summary of the past 3 decades -on just some of the anatomy of the investor profession.  Things always change but not necessarily for the better -and besides we don't have to understand everything, to be happy.  But enfin, here is some of my understanding.

Thailand has a newer strict defamation law in place, no doubt many are aware of, which is a real horror where you can't even point...

The Thai Stock Market overall remains a bear-market.

The Thai Stock Market remains overall in a bear-market. But with investor "diamonds in the rough", to be and I have found.

There are many reasons for this. Local analyst/reports Thai Biz. & politicians and more mostly blame outside forces -instead of looking inward.  As mentioned here often...

SET bear market on-going in good part due to lack of broker/exchange reforms.

The SET's overall wealth-destruction during the past 10 years is outright appalling if not galling.  But there is a silver lining to those who paid closer attention here.  A market of stocks more than a stock market.
