Comment: This industry is one ripe for an upgrade. If you’re a hotel developer – for example most hotels use 1 chiller that has to be switched on for all their units, imagine if they could be changed to be operated by sections of floors during low occupancy periods and save on the electricity costs. This can be applied to effectively every sector where humans live and operate.

After all these years, I’ve finally taken the opportunity to cash out the Demco trade, managed to eek out a small 20% profit but caused some major headaches along the way.
Pon
HAHAHAHAHA, it’s been a beautiful pain in the backside. Though wouldn’t be surprised to see it spike on EV/electrification news….
And that 20% return has beaten the SET over the same time frame.
Xavi
Their performance hasn’t been backed by their hype, even after the HB provisions have past, they are still losing money or at best struggling to break even, their backlog hasn’t shown any signs of growth for the past 5 years.
Pon
The board and management team should just be fired, all operations stopped, business assets sold and live off the dividends of their past investments.
shares would be worth far more.
Xavi
They should try to find a buyer for their WEH shares and then use the funds to do a massive share buyback or pay a large dividend, their primary business is just treading water.
Pon
Yup, but oh well, they think like a state enterprise. Don’t expect much to happen despite the obvious opportunities.

I too was heavy into DEMCO in 2017. Also HYDRO and QTC. They are all swinging North but like Pon says maybe their day has passed.
Pon
Who knows, I’m wrong 50% of the time. A new shareholder/business/management may come in and boom its off to the races again.
