Comment: Who is going to pay for this? And no PACE isn’t operating fine, they are behind on all their bills. The Labour court in Thailand is going to have field day with the cases against PACE. But have a look at PACE its the best performing name in the past 2 weeks. Even a PoS can be attractive at the right price.

@PACE: a company with bht 10bn of defaulting loans is ‘operating fine’???
this really made my day!:)

I pared my banking stocks prior to the BOT decision thinking a cut would plunge bank stocks like it did in August, investor sentiment can change on a dime and banks have actually gone up. Why trade on fundamentals like NIM when we can trade on feelings..
peter satrapa-binder
well, as once i read in a book written by a stock trader the stock market is 10 % economic and company fundamentals and 90 % psychology:)
Xavi
Absolutely, psychology plays an overwhelming part, I try not to follow the herd and buy when shareprice diverges from the actual company performance.
Right now that is happening to Samtel IMO, at current prices the yield this year could hit nearly 7%. (0.55/7.9)

the same happened recently for TPIPP: recently their share price dropped considerably and very fast following a rumour that they would not pay much dividend next year as they will have some large opportunity to invest in something.. but since then they have confirmed that their dividend will be at least the same as last year AND their 3Q19 financial results were also better than last year’s ones… their dividend yield is also app. 6-7 % now:)
