On the contrary You should be careful of stocks in which the fund holds more than 4%, which may be at risk of being sold to pressure prices, such as KTB, SCB, PTT and AMATA, etc. The outstanding stocks (Top Pick) that the research department recommends still focus on stocks that rely on commodity prices and prices that go down deep, namely PTTEP, IVL and TRUE.
