Hi Jeffrey: I like REAL CHEAP! Don't we all! On the other hand, a basket of pretty darn cheap stocks is better than 100% investment in one REAL CHEAP stock. So, let's all have a contest. What are the 5 cheapest stocks today, based on your own viewpoint - but not on growth? I'll referee - that way I can get lots of people working for my lazy butt. gg peter

It was a good call on GZSP, but if you are quibbling about a temprarily restricted stock, GZSP has no legal standing whatsoever. It's major value might even be something cheap for somone interested in making a bid for Genzyme. At least with ALSC you are getting something that will be marketable at some defined future point in time. Obviously if you have concerns about the foundry business or taiwan this is not the right stock for you, but I like this business for the medium term, and I beleive that the China/Taiwan stuff will go on for the next century, so I like the stock at these prices just as I like Deswell. There is a ton of information about ALSC On that thread so there is no point for me to regurgitate it. UMC is traded on the Taiwanese exchange and the ALSC thread offers almost daily quotes on it.
