Bangkok--Jan 30--Seamico Securities Plc.
Seamico's "Snake Pit" the online chatroom of the very popular website www.seamico.com, has shown dramatic increases in traffic since the announcement of Thailand's election results, quite an amen for the "Year of the Snake".
Covering specific Thai stocks, politics, global trends, rumours and even a section where you can critisize their site, the Snake Pit provides an excellent forum (in for both in Thai and English) to discuss the Thai stock market.
Seamico's site, one of the most popular broker sites in Thailand, also provides online quotes, research reports, technical analysis, historical charts and the ability to trade online at reduced brokerage commission rates.
Its recent innovation, the Siam Stock Game International, provides investors with the opportunity to test their skills without actually investing any money - a simulation package uses real quotes from the SET. Monthly prizes are given to the winners. Providing virtual cash of Baht 1 million, the game has proven very popular indeed and a novel way of learning about the workings of the Thai Stock Market.
Commenting on the "Snake Pit", Robert W. McMillen, CEO of Seamico said "The "Pit" becomes very lively when the market volumes increase. Users and clients are able to swap stories, theories, rumours and views, all with the objective of finding that one stock which will make them money. Seamico provides this free forum as a viewer service."
