What a difference a day makes. The "selloff" today was tough on the Group and the SOX.

100% Bullish on the SMH!

stockconsultant.com

On the other hand I have posted from a couple of sources that the SMH up channel has support on the lower end of the range at 35 and that the SOX has corresponding support at 480.

Anyway, I do think the SMH will rally. The worst that should happen is a trip or two to RSI(14) of 30. However, I will be selling into the rally. I don't think that KLIC's vision of a slowdown will be anything other than a very important sign of a definite slowdown later this year for the industry as a whole.
