It is a hard slog for any steel companies in Thailand until China can get rid of their excess capacity and stop dumping their crap into other markets.
These kind of companies look awfully speculative, can make a quick buck but just don’t be the one holding the bag when the bottom falls out.

Who knows, they may launch a renewable energy project! Wouldn’t be a first…
