Management Trades 13/06 – 17/06
Notable transactions
Buy(s) THB 606 mn
- BDMS – Massive buying again!
- COL – Now this interesting, I’ve always wondered when or how this company will be able to be successful. Would Central Group shove its Lazada purchase into COL?

Sell(s) THB 8.2 bn
- AAV – Boom the huge sale to King Power
- KSL – Are they still afraid of sugar prices?
- IHL – The MD sells some 2% of outstanding shares

All producers, e.g., KSL, hedge–buy/sell forward. In reality, this is a punt–with luck, an informed one–as is its doppelganger, “speculation” which gets the bad press and without which the hedge would have no counterpart. KSL seem to have played it very “conservative,” hence the exit despite spot prices, and will be on the sidelines of future price rises (and falls). It was an OK run, 30%. But wouldn’t you like to see the book at Mitr Phol. Which is unlisted. Damn.
