I only rate stocks on CAPS I actually own or have owned. Out of all the stocks in my portfolio, this is perhaps my second favorite. This stock is like a Smashing Pumpkins in the 90's: I just know I'm at the right place at the right time! Endlessly bullish, I am...

United Microelectronics Corp(NYSE:UMC)
I like United Microelectronics because 53.7% of its net wafer sales derived from products used in communication devices.
Has the state of the art semi-conductor factory to manufacture customer orders on time.

This is an experimental portfolio consisting of small-cap or larger picks that have recently entered the $1.50-3.00 range (favoring the low end), with the theory being that most stocks entering this range are not going to stay there unless they've been there for a while already.
------------------
Not often you see a $5B company knocked down this far... It should go in this experimental portfolio on principle alone. :) Next to no debt, better margins than the industry as a whole, decent ratios otherwise, and improved relations with China (at present) can't hurt the cause any.

This little "sleeper company is going to blossom as this economic "snafu" being to turn around. I figura to put a bundle of it's stocks in a nice sunny place, water and feed them well, as I await the Green blo$$om$. I won.t make a killing, although United Microelectronics' prospects look real good!
Recs
This Taiwan based semiconductor manufacturer is poised to reap big rewards as we emerge from the economic downturn. With the improvement in relations with China, this world leader has access to the world's fastest growing economy from a platform which is linguistically and culturally part of China.

Stock is near 52 wk low and the gobal ecopmony will return by late 2009 or early 2010.

Relationships between Taiwan and China are booming. The company is almost debt-fre and it still has more than $1 billion sitting in the bank

I am not so much as rating this stock I am going to ask a question in hope thats another rater with more knowledge than I can help me. What is the easiest way to tell if a stock pays dividends? Is there a place you can look because I am always curious if a stock I am interested in buying pays dividends. Thanks for the help.
PS this stock will do well and the main reason is because I bought some.
Recs
GUT FEELING. I HAVE OWNED THIS STOCK, SOLD IT BECAUSE I WAS PAYING TOO MUCH IN TAXES ON IT. I MAY BUY AGAIN.

United Micro is way undervalued. Will make 3G chip for 3G IPhone.
Recs
As the micro cip market goes upside so will this.
Recs
More and more chipmakers are turning to foundries for their chip manufacturing due to the high investment and the technical challenges. While TSMC is my favorite foundry a lot of chipmakers will likely want to avoid having all their chips manufactured by one partner, so UMC should see a nice boost.
Recs
undervalued at present price with historically reliable dividend
Recs
buy now while its low
