As someone that has been on the DEMCO rollercoaster for the past 5 years, I do hope their fortunes improve and this foundation mess is behind them soon.
Will WEH ever IPO, keeps getting pushed back…
Jay
Down to 6 baht, ouch!
Xavi
Well we can’t pick winners all the time can we? If I can crow about the winners, then I can eat crow about the losers as well.
Pon
We should learn more when 2Q16 #’s are released and at their opp day talk.
WEH seems to be a bit messy at the moment from what I’ve heard which is a shame, but they do need a huge amount of capital by 1Q17 next year, so either it shall be 100% debt funded (which is unlikely but who knows these days) or they will have list. Only time will tell..

I heard DEMCO was pushed from one of this dubious websites who push small Stocks . So some Guys make for shure Money with Demco 🙂 But as all the “Followers” now sitting on huge Losses i dont think they come back to 18 or 19.
Given the lousy management who missed so many Times on their Outlook it is at least an “Play” with caution.
Now we are in an nice Bull Run so they have an fair chance to go maybe up to lets say 9-10 again…if the WEH IPO come someday
Pon
hahaha you “heard” ok…
I do disagree with your comment on lousy management, met them enough times in the past to know that they’ve been rather transparent with information to the market and what they expect for the business.
Xavi
this Demco mess all stems from the unforeseen foundation issues which no one could have predicted, I think Demco will recover with time but it won’t be a short sharp jump.
I managed to average buy Demco over many years from 4 baht to 11 baht so my loss isn’t nearly as big. With the beauty of hindsight I should have sold in the high teens, but it does sting the ego a bit to see one of my long term picks doing so poorly recently.
