  1. Think the banks are going to cut their provision reserves this year to prop up the profit number perhaps? I know BBL threw in the kitchen sink 4Q19 to boost the coverage ratio to a whooping 220%.

    • Usual game of banks…play with the provision and NPL #s, what I am thinking about more is that liquidity is being taken out of the thai banking system and since 2015 I’ve been thinking that domestic banks will to be in a situation similar to what Korean and Japanese banks are in.

  2. International schools are taking advantage of the virus situation. Teachers have been on 20-30% reduced salaries (taht is assuming they are doing online teaching). Now that the schools are opening, teachers will stay on reduced salary until August. Education – a good business if you can get into it (and its’ profits are tax free). The only one I know of that is publicy traded is SISB. Q3 2020 results should look good.

    • Part of me think’s international schools in bangkok are peaking…demand of new kids continually declining, # of schools that have opened up are massive, wondering how they will maintain quality. But yes SISB’s #’s will still continue to look good for now.

      • Thanks, Pon. Originally I invested in the IPO for long term tax free growth and dividends. Now, I day trade occasionally, if market sentiment provides an opportunity. and there is always that risk that they will lose their tax-free status. ”depends on the benjamins, baby” .
