Ken, Thanks, I'll have to check out SGI. The internet plays could actually be good, but, of course, use extreme caution. I like the others better than MZON or UBID. Good luck!

STOCKWATCH: Taiwan electronics -- 2 (semiconductor stocks lead gains) AFX, Sunday, January 10, 1999 At 9:43 am, the electronics sector was up 2.37 pct. The weighted index was up 15.19 points at 6,436.94, off a high of 6,492. 90, on turnover of 31.72 bln twd. Jardine Fleming Taiwan Investment Management Ltd fund manager Grace Lee said semiconductor stocks continue leading the broad electronics shares higher on stabilised dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips prices. She said semiconductor stocks previously had factored in the industry overcapacity issue and now the sector is taking the cue from any positive leads. Expectations of fundamental improvements also sparked interest. "For instance, leading TSMC and UMC seem to be doing better than expected on securing contracts." "Their shares prices had been corrected, now they are taking the opportunity to overperform." High-priced electronics stocks also staged a comeback today on rotational plays after previous corrections. However, profit-taking is expected to emerge anytime to cap early gains. "Generally speaking, investors are still cautious, there are still concerns over any broad market correction." She said the bellwether sector is outperforming at the cost of some other sectors. "Liquidity is shifting into the electronics sector from others, capping the benchmark index's early rally." Lee said semiconductor stocks are anticipated to continue their strong showing in the near term as long as DRAM prices hold on to current levels. UMC rose 1.70 twd to 46.10, TSMC added 4.00 to 80.00, Mosel was up 0.70 at 35.10, and Winbond was 1.40 higher to 39.40. The financial and petrochemicals sectors led declines, down 1.45 pct and 1.06 pct.
