This Paul Renaud or “PR” is a dunkoffer who knows nothing about the Thai stock market. He keeps all his winning picks to himself. I would rather use one of the independent foreign brokers. Their research is better and more technical.

Paul R. seems to know a lot about Thailand.

But has he bought into the “mai pen rai” means nevermind mentality too much?

He is famous as the #1 investment guru around. But as a non-member I have no idea how to value his winning picks because I don’t have access to his portfolio and historicals.

(BD: Fred check comment above, Paul grants free access since September ‘09.)

You may like to know that as of today, September 16th, 2009, Paul removed the “subscribe to” page from his site.

Got this email from Paul:

“The membership was for years 640 euros per year. No more. My professional viewpoints are now totally free for all. It’s time to give/share back on what has been a long success story here, investment-wise.”

I agree with BangkokDan. As a former member of Thai Stocks I can say that in the past Renaud has given his recommendations for his portfolio and after the stock market has crashed he then chooses a strong buy portfolio and then bases his performance on these recommendations and doesn’t mention the original portfolio ever again.

Of course Renaud is preaching his own books and transparency is not truly his strength, otherwise statistics of his recommendations and portfolios would be available.

“Give us a model stock portfolio Paul and I’ll buy anything!” … so to say.

The hardest unknowns remain the cycles. Smaller caps and a healthy technical analysis – but unless you don’t subscribe to a hefty yearly membership Renaud doesn’t open any book.

Why should he, it’s not less legalized gambling than trading in larger caps. Exact science anyone?

Interesting take on the voting monkeys Peter Hall.

Don’t wanna go into all the obvious hardcore racism issues, but that Roti Boy – got copied immediately.

Got destroyed not only by a fading fad, but by its own success.

Anything highflier in Thailand finds its floor again pretty soon.

Even monkeys know how to vote:

The Roti Boy marketing scheme that had consumers queing up 200 meters on Sala Deang a few years back resonates of todays PAD’s propaganda hold on a part of the Thai phsyche; a fad only to be dropped a few weeks later, even when that genuinely intoxicating cinnamon waft still enticed. This was a true pollster’s lesson on Thai’s middle class in-consistence and faithlessness to anything that didnt reflect them or had a past due-date attached. Jumping ship had nothing to do with the quality, but simply a result of communal adhesion to peer acceptance. Back to the 5 baht mama noodles. Corruption and nepotism knows it’s noodles.

Grand movements to stem democracy are afoot before a child-like nation realizes there is an alternative to patronage and slavery to corruption, and that the tools are called democratic instruments.

They are using these tools in Angola today, those disenfranchised people; unfortunately, most Thais consider those people as monkeys … how sad it is that this superiority-induced limited vision is for the people who have yet to have a take on their own destiny …
