    • I was half lucky tbh, call was on infrastructure spending in Thailand/indo/vn/phil and the massive demand that would come from all of this would drive their earnings over the next 3 years, the drop in oil price has only helped.

      • Pon, I am a bit concerned about the Junta’s ability to execute all these grand spending policies.

        If we look at 6-12 months ago, the so called digital economy drove alot of IT stocks to sky high valuations. Then came a hammer blow of delayed and more delayed 4G, legislative hot potato..I might be jumping the gun but I am about ready to cash out of my CONMAT stocks while there is still all this euphoria..

        • that’s the underlying beauty of the market, expectations or as soro’s says, reflexivity.
          First comes the euphoria of expectations that pushes valuations to the potential what if scenario and normally further, then reality sets in as expectations are dampened or crushed and valuations fall below what some arguably call fair value, it’s just wonderful.

          AS for the government, of course they won’t be able to execute all the projects, but as long as some are pushed through with minimum corruption (which looks to be the case), then it will already be wonderful progress.
