Hi Al. Now that the SEMI group has turned up the SOFT group is looking good, I checked out the breakdown of the top ten holdings in three no transaction fee/low transaction fee technology mutual funds:
Robertson Stephens Information Age A RSIFX
INTC,PSFT,LGTO,MSFT,AMAT,VTSS,NETA,NVLS,APOL,ASMLF
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
T. Rowe Price Science & Technology PRSCX
PMTC,CSCO,NETA,QCOM,MSFT,SE,ASND,FDC,SNPS,ADI
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PBHG Technology & Communications PBTCX
CTXS,SAVLY,ECSGY,AFCI,TCNOF,CDT,KEA,CATP,REMC,CGX
The funds break down as follow:
fund SEMI SOFT COMP TELE other
RSFIX 5 4 0 0 1 PRSCX 1 5 3 1 0 PBTCX 0 5 1 2 2
I am using RSFIX for a SEMI proxy. I'll use PBTCX for a SOFT proxy when the sector turns up and will add PRSCX if the COMP sector follows. The P&F charts for all three looks good.
Take care,
