SET: The index is going nowhere, but individual stocks always have a story to follow

Seeing the SET lately, I can't help but wonder if we're stuck in Groundhog Day. The overall index seems to be stagnant, not going anywhere, but when you zoom in on individual stocks, there's always something to play with.

Sometimes it feels like a race against time. Stocks with good stories and beautiful financial results have already seen their prices run up. If you're not someone who follows news minute by minute or someone who monitors the screen all day, it can be quite exhausting. Especially recently, I've seen many stocks with high price volatility. Sometimes you fall asleep and wake up to a different price (lol). It's no wonder many people are starting to look at international markets, like $CAD or $CADUSD, which I've heard some people say are less volatile and have more interesting news to follow.

Personally, I'm still circling around the SET. Perhaps it's because I'm more familiar with the habits of our local market. I just need to adjust my strategy a bit. From previously trading heavily, I now have to test the waters slowly. If anyone has good insights or techniques for this kind of market, please share them.
