AMKR is not alone AMKR is down about 39% from its peak in the past two months due to two reasons: 1. Its close tie to Anam Electronics of Korea. 2. The general weakness for the semiconductor and PC related stocks, in particular the small stocks. In this inflated market, a company with a cap less than $10b is considered only a small cap stock. We can see AMKR is not alone from the following list: Stocks, Down from Jan/Feb peak: MU -41% NSM -41% CPQ -40% DELL -31% MXTR -65% QNTM -40% WDC -65% HTCH -61% SEG -40% STK -50% The list apparently includes many large cap stocks with excellent track record. Many are the industry leaders, such as MU, DELL, CPQ and SEG. With a Capitalization/Revenue of only 0.5, AMKR is a safe play and it will bounce back nicely when market condition changes.
