I will do that, but please don't follow me on this. AUO is a Far East high tech company that makes LCD panels. It is cheap and even grants some not to bad dividends: Trailing P/E: 18.79 Forward P/E: 8.70. It even offers a juicy dividend yield over 2%, which is not common for such high tech companies. Maybe price is so low because it is considered a consumer goods company and not a high tech one. In my opinion they develop new LCD technologies at such a fast pace and they invest so much in research they can be considerer a high tech company. It is so cheap for a high tech, that I am buying it as soon as finish writing this article. I also like the fact that I do understand AUO will make the technology which will allow me soon to replace the cubic TV monster in my house with a flat thin TV at a reasonable price. I am afraid I will not have the guts to buy the high tech little monster HOKU Hoku Scientific, Inc. form Hawaii. It makes technology for fuel cells, in complicated way that we, the people, will never really understand. It is horribly expensive: its Price/Sales of 16.96 and P/E of 47.52 are similar to Google, but its business model is far less strong and likely to succeed. They still have 20 M$ in their bank accounts, so they can invest in their strange technologies more and more money, specially considering they do even manage to make earnings. They have good contracts with Nissan, the Navy and Sanyo. It is good to be able to develop such futuristic technology, very useful in an oil deprived world. It is even nicer if a company like Hoku can do that making even some earnings. Maybe after all I will go for it.
