Thread: Your tips please.

i find the set a little slow at the mo. i like it volatile. any tips out there and why u tip the comp.

You could think about SET50 futures and options on TFEX. One of the advantages is you can make (or lose) money in any sort of market by applying different strategies.

eg flat market like now you can sell puts and sell calls at the same time so providing the market doesn't move outside a certain range you profit

eg falling market, by selling calls and/or buying puts

eg rising markets selling puts and/or buying calls etc

Would need to ensure you are comfortable with the products first though, and build up knowledge by starting very slowly. Not for everyone though.

Another advantage of TFEX is unlike other futures/options exchanges in different countries, the market is less dominated by big players and professionals, so slower and easier. In say UK/US it can be unforgiving and high pace.

I do it as a hobby to complement other investing, and when things are quiet elsewhere can be an opportunity to make money even in flat directionless markets

Grow your own food.

Eat your electronics.

Give your speculative profits to the poor.

Draw the line.

Let them eat numbers.

Thomas Cook shares have took a dive recently due to some legal litigation.

A good time to buy imho at the start of the holiday season, like always a gamble.

You might be cashing them in a couple of months with a healthy profit.

If you bought into the SET before 2012, you should've made a decent profit.

If you jumped in full-bore ten years ago , you'd look like a genius.

As with many markets there's now a 50/50 POV.

What happens when the US Fed raises as the BOT is decreasing.

Which direction do you feel the world's available equity will move ?

Personally I believe the SET had a good run.
Though keeping some equity in play locally I would look elsewhere before the third quarter ends.
{Caveat: it's your money, not mine.}

Note: I recently purchased HAL-NYSE (Halliburton) based on a long-term (+ 10 year) outlook for drilling.

YUM was another choice (YUM-NYSE) purchase a few years back that I still believe has phenomenal franchise opportunities in China and SEAsia.

I traded my championship 49er conker for a small bag of seasoned but untried conkers that my mate Bernie knocked out of the old horse chessnut tree in ten acre field, turned out to be a great investment as three of them are already plus 30er's and I've had cash offers pouring in.

Don't eat yellow snow.

Maybe, if you don't feel any direction now, perhaps take a break, keep your Bloomberg open and move when you find your direction?

How about Tesco shares?

I ask that because as someone who knows far call aboutshares I recon the mifghty T will once again roll again.

PS how can I buy shares in Tesco from Thailand??

Almond futures - 80% of the world supply grown in California, they take 10% of a dwindling water supply. Some orchards are being ripped out already. There's gonna be a shortage sometime

Digital Look has a reasonable free website for looking/ analysing various shares

Myself would rate it as a hold/neutral. If you have it hang on, but not really there yet for a buy. A lot of hurdles to come.

There are a couple of brokers that allow you to trade foreign stocks from Thailand. Don't know if any do Tesco. Not really much point trading UK stocks from Thailand for me.

I'd trade them either from my UK broker, or from Singapore. I hold some Tesco stocks thru Stan Chart in Singapore, but not really inclined to buy more/ add to yet, as there's a lot of work to be done.

Don't ask for tips on the Thai stock exchange on a forum with two dozen active members, almost none of whom know anything about Thailand.
