Thaistocks.com has been about rational & value investing, since 1997.  April 30 '2024 marks its 27th anniversary:  At which time I will end my running this site and resign....and so offering this best-name & long lasting site/URL  for sale.     

We are not, ever were investment nor financial advisors/nor fund managers  -just publishers of unbiased, experienced & long professional viewpoints with 30+years of  experience.   As from the start, always, I here only publish my own unbiased view points".
