This by far the fastest growing leader in the semi industry. It has jumped as of late but it still is cheap. The avg. PEG is 2.0 in this sector, tht means it should be priced at atleast 3 times current share price. This stock (wfr) is a long term pick with some more short term gains to be had up to about the $66. Good Luck!
