S.A.F.,
CHPC is interesting but one caveat - gross margins are way too low (< 15%) to support a PSR of >2 (as it is now). Generally I like equipment makers and contract fab firms way better than "service providers" like testing or packaging houses becuase the latter approach doesn't scale so easy...

So CHPC is not a stock for me to invest but I wouldn't write it off. Just that I won't buy it. I'm looking at the likes of TGAL, SMTL, GGNS, BTUI etc.. I bought TGAL in this group. Honestly I love Japanese companies right now. I wished I had bought Shibaura Mechatronics which I was looking at 2 months ago. That one is already up 100%...
