Were the dollar amounts reversed? Usually there are about 30-33 Taiwan dollars for every US dollar. So 608 billion TW dollars would be 20 billion US dollars at 30 TWD per USD. The article might have this reversed. Another possibility is that 20 billion Taiwan dollars equals about 608 MILLION US dollars, not BILLION US dollars, at 33 TWD per USD. Either way, the numbers in that article are suspect. And 608B US dollars is WAY ALOT! Like 1/3 of the whole US government budget for a year. Not a reasonable number for a single company, unless it's Exxon-Mobil or Citicorp or GE. You should read a bit more critically. Do your homework. Woody

I lightened up on BRLC. To your point, there has been a lot of good news and BRLC hasn't responded. But I did it mainly to reduce my stock exposure, just in case the market drops more. It could just be that because of the market, there has been net selling - even on good stocks. The chart, however, shows a down sloping triangle, typically a bearish pattern, with a pivot point around $8 - where we are now. If it falls, I'll try to buy back my shares. But in a down market, I'm not planning on being a hero. Tom
