Starting in October of 1998 when the NASDAQ started on an upward course, the performance can be "compartmentalized" fairly well by dividing the intervening time until today into three intervals. These intervals are shown in the table below. Shown beside the dates are the values of the semi- equip group sum, the NASDAQ value on that date, and the SOX-X value on that date. Then the change in percentage over those values are computed and shown. During these 3 periods, there has been good correlation between the 3 averages in terms of being "in sync", ie, while the multiplying factor of positive and negative may be different, at least they are all going in the same direction. Prior to October 1998, this was not always the case.
