Investment Ideas: Long Term Charts Thai Stock Market - January 2013 Update

Investment Ideas: Long Term Charts Thai Stock Market - January 2013 Update | Economy and Investments | Scoop.it
cnxsoft's insight:

6 months have gone since our last update, and its time again to update the long term charts of the Thai stock market.

The first chart is the SET index between 1975 and January 2013. Following other indices around the world, and despite my overvaluation view 6 months ago, the Thai stock market has continued its (unstoppable) rise in the last 6 months, and now stands at about 1440, a rise of about 40% since I started to become cautious.

Investment Ideas: S&P 500 Analysis: Valuation, Sentiment and Technicals - February 2013 Update | Economy and Investments | Scoop.it

Last time I did this analysis was in January 2012, and I found out the US market was not particularly attractive with the S&P 500 just over 1,300, but not extended quite enough (AAII sentiment) to short it, the S&P 500 is now over 1,500, so let's update this long term analysis.
