Don, I will get some 3 year weekly charts and some longer term monthly charts up before I finish. I got the SOX components redone with the new additions in 6 month daily charts tonight: investorshub.com The best thing is that the charts update automatically. So once they are done they are done. Except for when I ask for a longer time frame than 3 years. The commentary I am posting will help to add some legitimacy to those who get it right long term plus some fundamental background. Eventually I believe that unless Silicon Investor allows the charts to be shown here like iHub does that we should all move over to that site. No rush on that move. We can certainly create a Wennerstrom thread if and when that might happen. For now anyone interested is welcome to post on the Sector Investing thread at any time they might care to. Thanks, RtS
