Stan7444 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What an odd political strategy which seems to be manufactured out of desperation on the part of the protest leaders, and who better than a monk? Who did the research to determine if the "family" even owns any part of these companies, while shares could be owned by another party which in turn the "family" owns, or not? Also been informed by investment companies in Thailand that there is no "shorting" the market which is currently not allowed, so may not be an issue, although if allowed, I would have shorted AIS and then bought back into it later to make a fortune. Great company and great investment opportunity. While the crazy protestors are listening to their "evangelist" leaders, which are dying in the streets, investors are making money at the same time. That is democracy and capitalism with a free market economy. This is what Thailand is supposed to be, regardless of one family or the other being accused of corruption. Corruption? Get use to it since there has always been corruption in Thailand, and there will be (in our lifetimes at least) corruption. It is basic to the Thai culture and society. Change one political party for another and the same thing occurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtoad Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thaksin is not going to be a happy man today, this is turning into the worst week for his siter, and there have been some bad ones. I'm avoiding all Shin products and companies as well. As Tesco says "every little helps" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMarlow Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 "...totaling 21.36 million baht." Try multiplying this over a week or two. Perhaps even longer. That was the value of share trading during the day, not a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prbkk Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 smells of manipulation ... Smells of fear. Yes, fear is an element as I suspect he is trying to 'encourage' the govt not to release the list of companies/individuals financing the PDRC. This is a very silly game of tit for tat , in which the losers (as always) will be the smallholders and the employees. This is a rich man's game and none of them give a toss for the consequences to others. For institutional investor's it presents a buying opportunity with a longer term horizon ...but how long before they simply walk away from Thailand as a lost cause case? Sooner rather than later if Suthep's lunacy is allowed to continue without challenge. Never seen a country suicide before, at least not first hand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepInTheForest Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) An inflammatory post has been deleted. Please keep your posts civil. From what I have read, it seems that over 90% of the posts on the recent political turmoil have been inflammatory, on both sides of the issue. There is much heat and little light being shed in this forum. The vitriol often originates from the same folks who take locals to task for being over-emotional and immune to logic. Feel free to delete a few more. Delete away!! Edited February 20, 2014 by DeepInTheForest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tilac2 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This is crazy. And all because of personal animosity. To think that this Suthep is taken seriously by people in Thailand: it makes you wonder whether this whole country is not built on shifting sands. Anyway, I expect SCB shares will do fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gweiloman Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 What shoddy reporting from PBS. SC Asset drops 4.94% and they call it a plunge???? I was hoping that SC would have shed at least 30-40% of it's value (and that would be correctly called a plunge) as I would have then invested most of my spare cash into that counter as it's a sure winner. As long as the fundamentals are in place, the share price will eventually find it's right value. Wasn't it Warren Buffett who said that one should always swim against the tide?

SC today further drop of 0.06 or 1.9% Yep, the past week is barely noticible on this graph. Need to take it with a pinch of salt though as it is from Bloomberg who don't have the total understanding of life, the universe and everything that some posters on here have. Once the shares go back up, the muppets who sold out lost.... and the more that sell out now, lose out more because they were too slow.

monkeycountry Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Boycott Thai style : Let's boycott AIS. Thaksin has not had any shares in the company for almost 10 years, and the boycott will therefore not affect him or his wealth at all, but we will boycott them anyway :-D Why not boycott DTAC and TOT as well, Thaksin does not have any shares there either, so they are obvious targets? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerdee123 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Thaksin's companies probably can't make a profit anyway unless they have monopolies or inside connections ..... this is something that he and his interests are obviously at risk to lose here in Thailand. He can then try Cambodia and we can watch Hun Sen run circles around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieinthailand Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I wonder how many anti government supports here own stock in AIS, and did you sell it yesterday or today.
