Hi G,

Great chart and I agree.

Chip makers lead equipment makers.

Equipment makers always shake out a little harder - just before a turn.

Although difficult to hold onto - an endearing quality if you buy the dip correctly.

I always watch the IBD industry sector rankings.Chip stocks finished the week in 17 vs 22 last week and 30 3 months ago.

Equipment makers (lagging behind)42nd on Friday,67th last week and 31st 3 months ago - So we see that shakeout going on in equipment makers actually below where they were 3 months ago as chip makers (who were only 1 slot ahead 3 months ago) lead the way up to new rotational leadership.

This is a good set up - especially with the seasonality favoring the increased use of electronics.

As Christmas buying defines what is hot, (and out of stock -with orders building backlogs for 2006 Q1) we'll see what equipment is in demand.

Generally a good environment for across the board leading edge capabilities.

IMHO

Bob
