better put your money into HaiO, provided if you believe in value investing. If not you can continue playing speculative counters.

Vitrox and VS both are good companies. However, technology shares have surged up a lot since the beginning of this year and some more now that ringgit is strengthening against USD, might not advantage to them. But in long term view, they will be doing good.

Actually, VS and Vitrox, they both don't really belong to the same category.

For VS (electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider) the Peer industry: Skpres, Pie, EG.

For other semiconductor stocks: Penta, Kesm, JHM, MMSV, MPI, Unisem, Inari, Gtronic and many...

Steel stocks: SSteel, lionind.

Just my 2 sents :)

Thank you hstha, gohkimhock, NapNiPupu, Larrytrader...

information from hstha and NapNipupu on tech / semiconductor stocks are all very useful.

GohKimHock...Haio, thanks for the alert. Was not on my radar before, but I have been studying them since your comment. Interesting stock, which I believe has good upside potential.

Most techs are over-rated currently and selling at high PEs. Returns in percentage term is also low. Best to buy good penny stocks and giving superior returns. Huaan is a stock that will give much better returns in the next 12 months than most tech listed shares in bursa.

The US semiconductor index has rebounded. Yesterday and today it has been extremely bullish.

Huaan looks like a speculative stock @ Kelvin61. Perhaps the low price, or penny stock as you call it, and high volume give me the impression. I could be wrong of course...
