Anyone got a good reason why i shouldn't punt this one ?

looks like were out of the starting blocks. onwards and upwards

Yip tech and a small dividend too, its a nice mix .....

Yingluck's impeachment trial begins next week .... I'd be keeping a keen eye on this one. Also, Thailand's central bank said the country's economy will barely grow this year and expand less in 2015 than earlier forecast, thanks mainly to how its growth engine of exports is still sputtering. The Bank of Thailand (BOT) on Friday cut its 2014 economic growth projection to 0.8 percent from 1.5 percent. The new year's forecast was reduced to 4.0 percent from 4.8 percent. Either stick in for the long haul or parachute ready .... :-) I have not decided yet

India’s government Friday projected stronger economic growth this year as investments gradually pick up, but cautioned that a weak rise in revenue is weighing on efforts to improve finances. The south Asian economy would expand 5.5% in the year through March, the finance ministry said in a report placed in Parliament Friday.

Indian stocks rose, sending the benchmark index to its first weekly gain in three, amid a rally in global equities and expectations for faster economic growth. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-19/india-s-nifty-futures-rise-after-sensex-halts-5-day-loss-streak.html

Interesting perspectives guys, I am down on my purchase price, but with 5% dividend I was going to sit in the stock for a while. I am hoping for a return to increasing global growth and therefore more need to commodities. Although I note their is fear of deflation in India, ( despite NII is motoring at the moment). I haven't followed China at all. Although perhaps I should. The Nigerian economy is growing at 7% despite low oil prices and BRFI has taken a hit. Its perhaps another one for consideration, if the oil price recovers and the Nigerian and Kuwaiti economies weather the storm. Anyway for the moment I think i'll stick with this one, as 5% is good value.

Haha cheers Laughton

16 December 2014 | 09:53am Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust bought back 20,000 ordinary shares yesterday at an average price of 424.5p apiece for cancellation. At 9:53am: [LON:ANW] Aberdeen New Thai Investment Trust Plc share price was -0.37p at 429.63p -

The selloff came as some investors who had bought stocks on margin are being forced to unwind positions, said Teerawut Kanniphakul, the Bangkok-based deputy head of retail research at CIMB Securities (Thailand) Co. Investors withdrew more than $2.5 billion from U.S. exchange-traded funds that buy emerging-market stocks and bonds last week, the biggest outflow since January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index dropped 0.4 percent today in a seventh day of declines, while other Southeast Asian gauges declined. Malaysia’s benchmark stock index retreated 2.1 percent. Indonesia’s Jakarta Composite Index fell 1 percent, while the rupiah weakened 1.9 percent versus the dollar to its lowest level since 1998.

Yes its definitely been peaks and troughs .... perhaps advice is to buy in a trough. This IT holds lots of dividend paying tech stocks, so in that sense I guess it will mean a certain amount of volatility

It has hit troubled time Runner, with the write down earlier in the year. However as you say a divident yield of 5% plus Net Asset Value of 90p above the share price looks like good value.

Anyone got any idea why CSN are issuing new equity?

Looks like with the the issue of fresh equity this one has plenty of supporters

Just seen yesterday's RNS we are now at a 10% discount to the NAV and dividend of 2.8%. Its quite a fall in the dividend yield, hopefully we can start heading north soon ......

I assume the stagnation is due to oil prices, being weighted in Nigeria and Kuwait. With Ebola on the retreat ... and wondering when we can hit the bottom, as far as oil prices go, then, timing could be good for this one.

Good stuff foggy. I am up 37% so far. So far this one shows no signs of stopping, here is hoping ....

This one seems choppy, up 2-3% one day, down the next. I assume we are seeing some profit taking. http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/SET:IND I hope we can see a break out soon,somewher up to 480-500 would be nice.
