I believe we have been showing weakness for several reasons.

Normally I would agree with your analysis but in the past week I have had to sell VSH and KEM on weakness. Both stocks had mgmt reiterate that sales were great and this would be a blowout quarter....and yet the stocks continued down. BTW these stocks are not considered semi's but in related fields.

When a stock's decline continues unabated, I have to assume that an institution(s) are bailing. And if they bail, the stock is in serious trouble. I am unclear whether that is happening to AMD or not.

I knew that the flash concerns were overdone but today SNDK is up slightly and SSTI is up 3 pts. I would have thought AMD would reflect some of that improvement.

Also coloring my view is the condition of the overall markets. While I didn't expect a huge rally after the feds meeting, I did not expect this response.....almost a lethargy. Remember the markets are supposed to see several months down the road....however that vision is not always 20/20.

By way of disclosure, these are my worries/fears and in no way are they meant to reflect the views of this thread. <g>
