Comments:
Thanks - What do you think of AMKR on your list? It's an interesting combination of showing good track record and being presently a complete disaster, with an options/filing/debt-default situation cooking that could result in anything from bankruptcy to a stockprice doubling in the next month. Avoid the crapshoot? Or bet on sanity prevailing?
 
Although I like AMKR and have traded it many times, I don't think they will do very well.

I believe the semi cycle is mature and companies like AMKR, SPIL, ASTSF and KLIC are very vulnerable to slowdowns at the foundries: TSM, UMC, SMI etc.

I'd stay away.
 
What's the new tech name Cram is recommending today?
 
HPQ
 
Congrats on RIMM. Good call. What are you recommending in the near-term. Thank you.
 
Read past articles. Lots of stuff.
