I hear you….but it’s just same same here and in most places the worldover.
Here the construction business has seen the drastic decline in new construction project, that’s in both commercial and residential.
For me the workload it’s about 30% dropped comparing to last year. Mostly works nowadays are in “remodeling”, and government contracts! ...That’s why now I have more free time doing the stocks trading.

I don't have any thought on SET, as I'm not involving with them. I only trade the US stocks, and keep my money outside thailand.

Same same. I've got about 2000 baht to my name in Thailand at mo. Bring it over very little by very little. Thank Buddha you have government work. It seems they are the only ones spending money at mo.

Did you make any trades? winners?

Yeah, trade every day. Made a killing last Friday, more by luck though. I'd gone short early morning and had forgotten GDP figures were due out. Had I remembered I would have been standing aside. Ho hum 200 points up.
