Share Prices Rebound As Foreign Investors Return

[sharecropper]

And just in case we forget how deeply insular, xenophobic and cretinous (or simply wrong) some members of the government can be, when they speak without checking the facts, here's an extract from a Reuters report, re the suggestion that foreign sellers were mostly responsible for the recent run on the market:

Thai institutional investors sold a net 4.3 billion baht

($129 million) worth of shares in the last four daily sessions

before Friday, while their foreign counterparts unloaded 1.6

billion baht ($47.9 million), according to the Stock Exchange

of Thailand. [iD:BKK482820

I for one sincerely hope H M health improves <snip>

As for the disgusting lowlifes who profit and loss on the wellbeing of other human beings, well they really are not even worth getting angry about, they will get theirs, sooner or later!

They would not understand, as their sole aim in life is money,money, and more money and to h-ll with the rest of us who suffer financially every single day on the whims of these leeches..their types have created this financial downfall, and their speculating on common commodities, eg oil should not be allowed..look at the 'ripple effect'' of their actions...disgusting!

So you have been pleased to hear about banker bonuses going up?

[erikr_]

so if i understand it well:

- market goes down due to unknown rumours being spread

- market goes up due to rumour spread by PM that the unknown rumour was false and he would have it investigated

Which of the 2 is manipulating the market

What rubbish.

It is all about speculation and when certain people speak, everyone listens.

Long live the King.

There is nothing unusual in a sharp "correction" for a market that has increased more than 60% year to date. It does not signify much. More important isthe fact that the historical PE for the SET was 27 at the end of September - a level only ever seen once (in 1990). That means that much of SET's performance this year was based on hopes of sharply rebounding earnings. My broker talks of forward earnings of 11 or 12 for the SET. I have a chart on my website showing correlation between SET PE and market tops. Invariably high PE correlates with tops, suggesting that the norm is for people to get over hopeful.

Well said!

1. Nothing wrong with people who make a living on Trading Stocks, Futures, ForEx, Commodities. It is essential to hedge against risk when needing a regular supply in metals, grains, energy, USD, etc. But when it comes to $$$ speculations, it affects those billions of people with the rise of FOOD, Energy, Savings, and a regular income in many many cases.

2. Ideal Capitalism is great. It is the greed in people in Capitalist world that make Capitalism weak.

SURE THERE MAY BE INDUVIDUALS (OTHER VIEWS) but surely you can see this one.

Hope we learn from this.. notttT

Gold US1060+/bbl. (new high)

Brent US76+/t oz. (100% since March 2009)

I wish I could buy gold by the barell, and then sell it by the ounce..........

Abhisit says SEC, police still trace source or rumor that hit stock market

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday that the Securities Exchange Commission and police were still tracing to the source of rumours that caused the stock market to suffer losses last week.

He said the SEC was in charge of conducing the investigation with help from police.

He urged traders not to panic with rumours.

He said the SEC would have to monitor the situation closely and must come up with explanations in time to prevent a panic.

I agree but it is easier in fact de rigueur to blame the foreign investor.

Someone shuould remind thai journalists to check their facts either internally or throgh Reuters. It was Thai investors returning!!
