It is hard to say. KOPN and EMKR are not seeing great demand, but RFMD was 50 percent booked early in the Q according to rumors. They all make power amplifier semis, so are standard non-specific. QCOM is sticking to its guns for growth next year, while NOK is a lot less optmistic than it was in early Nov.

Equity option activity on the CBOE yesterday had 321,023 put contracts trade compared to 333,226 call contracts. The resulting 0.963 put/call ratio seemed a little excessive for a positive market, but remember it's options expiration week. Yesterday's numbers have moved the 21-day moving average upward to 0.645. The CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX – 29.98) plummeted by 6.66 percent and the Nasdaq-100 Trust Volatility Index (QQV – 42.68) added 0.21 percent. optionsource.com
