My apologies if you think this is a rumor. The news story comes from a Chinese (Taiwan) news agency, which is purportedly the largest Chinese business news agency in Taiwan. As a service to our readers we try to keep them updated on what is going on in Taiwan, where it takes a few days for the same news to hit the US wire services, if at all. I cannot guarantee the "accuracy" of each news release, much the same as we cannot be sure PRNewsire, BusinessWire, AP, Reuters, etc. here in the US are "accurate." As you know, anyone can generate a hoax (PAIR and EMLX) so you are right to be on your guard. All I can say is that you are doing the right thing by being skeptical. I am not sure why the company is denying the rumor, but I would be more than happy to send the article to the IR people at SSTI for comment. While Radarview is not "100% foolproof" with the stories we share with our readers, we do make every effort to ensure they are above board and not a hoax or rumor. This is not to say we may not be fooled down the road (after all, the major wire services have been), but we are trying our best. Over time, as you see references to Radarview provided articles, and they turn out to be accurate, you may grow to trust the information when it is shared. You might even be able to get a jumpstart on things before the herd mentality. Not to turn this into an advertisement or SPAM for our services, but we try to be as real time as possible. To that end, we provide more timely information, that at times, is better than the information currently in the hands of the traders, funds, analysts, and institutions. This is one of the things we try to do to differentiate ourselves from other newsletters. For now, it is best to take the SSTI story from Taiwan with a grain of salt, and then once it is verifiable to your satisfaction, you will feel more comfortable with Radarview as a source of information you may not have come across yet. Radarview' primary mission is to provide useful and timely information and commentary on the semiconductor, wireless and networking sectors of the market to its readers. We discuss ideas and allow the reader to make the final investment decision. We DO NOT recommend stocks but rather draw attention to stocks worth considering and doing more research on, until the reader is comfortable. We do have a portfolio that has out-performed every other portfolio we have come across to compare it with for the last year. But that is another story<GGG>. As far as the website is concerned, we must admit, it is "under re-construction." Instead of just an "ad" for the newsletter and a trial subscription, we are currently converting it over to a co-branded and proprietary source of investment tools for our members and for the general public. we have been promising to do this for close to a year but have been too busy with the newsletter and its contents, to take the time to upgrade the site. we now have someone dedicating a few hours a day to this task and hope it will be functional with a week or two. Sorry for the intrusion again, and for the above plug, but we feel good about this newsletter and believe it is a decent tool which could complement any investment toolbox of sources that an investor would use to search out decent companies, build a portfolio, and to protect profits in that portfolio.
