The SOX is now hitting new 52 week lows. Lots of semiconductor stocks like ISIL have been getting hit hard for no new apparent reason. We have a technical breakdown. From Briefing.com: 12:05PM : The market averages opened the session on a firmer note as traders stepped in for a little bargain hunting in the wake of the recent breakdown. Inspiring market participants in early action were LSI Logic (LSI +4.3%) and Texas Instruments (TXN +2.3%) which reaffirmed earnings, a better performance for the dollar, European equity gains and some minor upgrades. The market has maintained its positive tone but follow through on the morning push has not developed with a choppy consolidation taking hold. The semi sector (SOX at 283.11), which has for the most part been able to buck another round of estimate cuts for Intel (INTC +0.5%) from Merrill Lynch and CSFB, is a concern as it is hovering precariously close to its 52-wk low at 282.75. Helping keep the tech dominated Nasdaq in the plus column are gains in networking, software, telecom, wireless, computer-hardware and storage. finance.yahoo.com^SOXX+ALTR+AMAT+AMD+BRCM+INTC+KLAC+LLTC+LSCC+LSI+MOT+MU+MXIM+NSM+NVLS+TER+TXN+XLNX&d=t RtS
