In 2017, Halloween falls on October 31, and Loy Krathong falls on November 4. We will be ignoring Thanksgiving, since it has no impact on Thailand. Given its deep America-specific roots, it hasn't made an impact as these two:<ul><li>
Halloween has roots in Roman times. Theoretically, ghosts are supposed to come out. Kids dress up as ghosts or monsters, though these days, weird costumes like Batman are acceptable too. Then, they go out asking Trick or Treat, so you're supposed to buy them candy. In…</li></ul>

Doing bespoke work since 2002....., Custom Products Group

Doing bespoke work since 2002.....

Custom Products Group

Custom Products was started 14 years ago at Lehman Brothers by current co-founder Patrick Hansen, CFA. After 3 years at Lehman, Patrick moved the team to Macquarie Securities where Simon Rigney (co-founder) joined. 3 years ago we took Custom Products independent. 

Our core strength can be summed up three words. 1- Customization - we have very little off the shelf products and most work is done on a one on one bespoke basis. 2- Speed - We pride ourselves in our ability to get requests back to the client very quickly. 3- Confidentiality - We do not redistribute. There is no grace period where we wait a week and then mass blast. Any request stops with that client.

We screened for names that brokeout on strong volume yesterday. We define a breakout when a stock hits its 30-day high and has not hit a 30-day high in the last rolling 30-days. This way we avoid momentum names that are setting new highs each day and therefore we get a real breakout.<h2>Screen Criteria</h2><ol>

Names that Brokeout on Volume Yesterday in Asia....

Over the past 20 years, Thailand faced two financial crisis, namely Tom Yum Goong in 1997 and Lehman in 2008. Discounting the political nonsense that is just part of life down here, we think there are five important lessons to take away, regarding: 1) the importance of investors; 2) liabilities-cash flow matching; 3) sticking to core competencies as well as avoiding : 4) currency pegs to dollars (or any currency); and 5) capital controls. No event in Thai business history has transformed the landscape more than the 1997 crisis. In this review, we highlight a few anecdotes of those who survived and those who didn't (at least not in their original forms).
