robint Posted January 4, 2007 Author Share Posted January 4, 2007 on opening yesterday it dropped immediately -4.1% then recovered steadily during the day to close at -3.3% today has been a steady decline back down to -4.3% bkk post reported that (new) long term foreign investors cannot open local bank accounts without a work permit and so would not be able to cash their dividend checks - go figure presume that existing investors already have bank accounts have you ever tried sending money out of thailand as a small investor?????????????? cu 2mlw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusvv Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I could not find it on the site mentioned but what I wanted to see was the performance of the SET across a certain period, like 3 months or 1 month or so. I can do this with google and yahoo finance for indices and stocks but I cant seem to do it for a foreign market like the SET. Is there an easy way to do that?

robint Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi Magnus I dont know of any free sources that give historical data for SET, you probably have to subsscribe to one of the financial data specialist - try googling Well it closed at 626.8 so thats 677/628 gives -7.3% Lets see what nastiness happens over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One good resource is: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/cbuilder?ticker1=SET:IND This will give you a detailed view of the SET for up to the past 5 years. You can also view it for many periods in between eg 1 day, 1 week, 1 month etc Gives a daily opening, closing figures as well as the days highs and lows. Hope of some use.

WilliamCave Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Any one have a good broaker they could reccomend and have used in the past.

Many thanks Slim perhaps this thread will produce some more useful insights I remember years ago before the finacial crash of 97 it was very difficult to trade as a private flang inthailand. One way round it was to set up an account with one of the commerce banks (Finance One springs to mind, probably went bust and maybe an NPL). They did the trading for you, I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceBlondie Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Can we have a contest to guess what next stupid move will cause the SET to fall even further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
