I believe, The scraping of the nuke plant in taiwan is allready factored in the stock market. I think every bad news is factored in the taiwan stock market!!!. We might see 2-3 days of deterioration in UMC stock.this should be a short term effect. one thing I follow is Foreign Investors continue to buy in Taiwa market while the locall investor is selling: Taiwan's Foreign Investors Bought Net NT$1.36B Shrs Mon TAIPEI (Dow Jones)--Foreign institutional investors bought a net NT$1.36 billion (US$1=NT$32.317) worth of shares Monday, the Taiwan Stock Exchange said in a statement. Month-to-date, foreign institutional investors have bought a net NT$16.2 billion worth of shares on the main board. Taiwan's Mutual Funds Sold Net NT$144.1M In Shares Mon TAIPEI (Dow Jones)--Taiwan mutual fund managers sold a net NT$144.1 million (US$1=NT$32.317) worth of shares Monday, the Taiwan Stock Exchange said in a statement. Month-to-date, mutual fund managers have sold a net NT$4.46 billion worth of shares on the main board. YOU be the judge as what to do with ALSC. SRAM/DRAM are not seeing any weakness in price or demand, UMC fundemantels are excellent, Taiwan politics is the "SHITIEST" you can ever get Lets not forget alsc conference on Nov 1
