Thailand Stock Index Trading?

[ThaiLover1]

I am interested in trading the Thailand stock market, as it seems kind of young and inefficient - compared to the American markets. This means an opportunity for profits, if done right.

Does anyone know if there is a similar trading vehicle to the US based QQQ stock - that is very liquid and tracks the Thailand SET stock index?

Don't know but Wealth-lab is what is needed to do it properly

Free web updates using Yahoo Finance

^SET50 SET 50 INDEX (The Stock Exchange of Thailand) Thailand

^SETI THAILAND SET (The Stock Exchange of Thailand) Thailand

kick arse language.

I had a look at http://www.set.or.th/set/sectorialindices.do and http://www.settrade.com/login.jsp?txtBrokerId=IPO and used symbol lookup

but could not see any.

Thought maybe something on SIMEX. Singapore Exchange (SGX) but could not see any after a short look around.

Gee it looks poised for a BIG buy on daily but breaking on the weekly.

Guess you gotta be bullish.

Some asian EW series available - see moneycentral.msn.com

These iShares are exchange-traded funds that look like an index fund but trade like stocks

The MSCI iShares are country-specific funds indexed to the MSCI index for that country and traded on the American Stock Exchange

Greece, Indonesia, Thailand, Portugal, Turkey soon or already with Japan already

Other typical ETF's are QQQ, SPY, EWJ, DIA, IWM, see complete list at http://www.amex.com/ and select 'more'

You could try trading ^THDOWD and ^THDOW and (see yahoo) where there is also the ^SETI - probably a good arbitrage opportunity here.

Generally things are a bit limited for Thailand, until the iShare comes on line at AMEX.

see http://sg.biz.yahoo.com/i/ and conclude that Singapore is Thailands worst friend, and http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/l

You gotta conclude that since international investors cannot see the exchange as well as Singapore, that any rise is a potential bubble and at the mercy of surrounding markets.

But consider you can trade HK, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore,Tiawan as index funds that are setup and seeking investment.

Thanks for all the advice about trading foreign financial instruments from the US.

However, I am actually looking to trade the Thailand stock market directly in Thailand - from my own brokerage account in Bangkok.

I am looking for any trading vehicles - only available to a Thailand stock brokerage account - that tracks the SET and is liquid.

Any advice on what financial instrument to trade?
