Comment: TRC was a good trade as a result of their potash mine holding, but across the market I’m seeing more and more dividends being given out as shares, which the market has never liked.

  1. Agreed Pon, if you’re looking to avoid the mosh-pit that is the upcoming 4G auction, SYMC is by far the best ICT/ASEAN play on offer. With Thailand lined up to be the central hub for telecommunications and logistics, especially once Myanmar’s growth train leaves the station, SYMC’s earnings are going to skyrocket. EBITDA has increased continuously even during periods of political turmoil. Great opportunity imo.
