BIO: Dr. Jitipol Puksamatanan heads macro and wealth research at CGS-CIMB Securities (Thailand). He develops actionable investment ideas, independent economic analysis, and asset allocation strategies.

STORY: Jitipol learned as much as he could about a stock he was interested in. He was very confident in this stock.
