Hi Mike-just found this locale on SI even though I had been using SI for the Semis and Computer parts for some months. Prodigy's Money Talk sure getting boring...since you disdain tech analysis so much, I just can't resist adding a few comments on the semis from elliott Wave basis--which is NOT technical analysis (e.g. I could care less about support and resistance, trend lines RSI etc)---- 1) The bear market is only about half way over,, BUT... 2) This bear market is pretty close to the end of the initial (A) Wave decline --to be soon followed by a countertrend (B) Wave rally which will retrace 30-50% of the (A) Wave decline----since the A Wave for many stocks has already gone down 67-80%--the B Wave rally could well result in many of the deeply depressed issues to double off their lows (and still be in a bear mkt longer term)! 3) Once the (A) Wave completes 5 sub waves down (we are currently in a wave 4 rally with one final sunwave 5 down to new or same level lows)---the EW theory says that the stocks should retrace at least up to the vicinity of the Wave 4 top of the (A) Wave--- 4) The Wave 4 Tops on many stocks would produce large gains and still constitute only a 30-50 retracement of the entire (A) Wave down which started last July/Aug. Examples are - MU..39.50 Wave 4 Top IDTI...16.25 Wave 4 Top CRUS....25.25 Wave 4 Top the list goes on an on. 5) In essence, Fred Hickey and you will likely be right overall--but --if I were you, after this current little blip up on MU goes back to 16-17etc I would be inclined to go long for good % gains--recognizing that once the Wave 4 Tops are approached--and imo they will be---the Second part of the Bear Market will resume with a vengence. regards
