Book Review: A Guide To The Set50 Index

[Butterfly]

Ok, so I finally got a change to read the book from one of most distinguished member here, The Moog

For those who are doing a bit of "Thai stocks" trading for the fun, this is definitely a good read. However I have a few negative comments about it.

First the book is very well written, professional. Good job. A lot of useful information not available publicly on the official SET/brokers websites were found in the book. That was very helpful.

Also choosing an Index like the SET50 is interesting. It narrows down your selection horizon and help you choose the best and most liquid of the SET traded companies. Definitely something easy to follow for your benchmarking.

Now the negative comments:

1. Not enough "relevant" ratios. I was expecting more complex ratios like Cash Flow to Sales, Sales to Market Cap etc... maybe the info is not available

2. No estimate or forecast for EPS, no Forecast ROE (which I need for my projections)

3. The Stars you attribute to each company is not clearly visible. I couldn't find some of them or forgot about them because I couldn't see them clearly.

4. Book size is too small, not necessarily a negative comment, but I would have prefered a bigger size book.

Other than that, nice

Am I the only one to trade Thai stocks in this forum ? It seems that most members here are invested back home or overseas. There are some fantastic deals to be made here. One of them was SHIN
