While one of the more focused groups like EMS, or RF Semiconductors, or IC Chips, etc., may outperform another on a short term basis they all follow or contribute in some cases to the movement of the SOX itself. Right now as I believe Gottfried was pointing out this morning these stocks are moving higher on hopes for a yet to be confirmed recovery. Fortunately A.I.M. takes the emotion out of investing.
