Some of the mistakes that Briefing.com and other market analysis sites make are laughable. The hardest part of reading these kinds of mistakes is when the mistake maker takes credit for getting an analysis right that has not been shared with anyone but the highest paying members. Briefing.com is far from perfect. I stopped paying for their services entirely. Why? Because of the inconsistency that I see in their recommendations. The SOX is made up of numerous components including AMAT and many other stocks besides AMAT that are not the world's large semiconductor capital equipment manufacturer. AMAT is a stock which Briefing.com sees very little good when it looks into the future for the stock. Briefing.com has rarely said anything good about AMAT. INTC on the other hand is a stock that Briefing.com holds in high esteem. Both stocks (all stocks in the SOX Index and in fact all stocks in the sector) tend to move in the same direction to a greater or lessor degrees. Briefing.com and anyone else who thinks these stocks are not going to move up or down together is clueless. No wonder Briefing.com thinks AMAT is INTC (the world's largest chip maker) but does not realize that they move in the same direction greater than 80% of the time on a daily basis and 100% of the time longer term. To like one is to like the other too. RtS
