The SEMI's look strong and we know they can be quite powerful on the upside....like this thread on Helix on Yahoo...........Aquickmill...... by: Koelekanth 268 of 284 That is the kind of information I like to see posted on this board. Both from a relevance and a good news standpoint. I was about to post something to the effect that the silence is deafening. Since I have no juicy tidbits, what follows is sheer speculation. Semis are currently being abused by analyst comments dissing the boxmakers. In my view, we are getting ready for a round of major computer purchases, although it will be after the turn of the year. The rest of '99 will probably be reminiscent of a Sine wave, with the 1 1/2 month period between earnings seasons being dismal for Tech stocks. I still believe that the chipquip stocks will be pumping out earnings like gangbusters, and we'll see 50% pops in the SOX during these periods. We may, however lose it all during the intervening lull, where the only news will be bad news. What to do???? Got caught with my pants down with HELX nearing $24. Thought it was going to break through. Oh well, not particularly concerned at these levels, as long as $18 holds. Will double down come 3/25 - 3/30. The fun will start with INTC the early part of April, and won't end for 45 days. Dell will again disappoint, and this time I will be on the sidelines, and stay there..... |
