14:00 ET Dow +40.02, Nasdaq -8.22, S&P +3.25 [BRIEFING.COM] More of the same for the averages as blue chips and the tech-laden Nasdaq continue to trade in opposing directions. Chip stocks continue to fall out of favor, as evidenced by the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOXX) extending its year-to-date disappointment to more than 13% with a 2.1% pullback and the Semiconductor HOLDRs Trust (SMH) hitting its lowest level since May 2005. Linear Tech (LLTC 31.58 -0.52), Maxim Integrated (MXIM 29.14 -0.61) and Xilinx (XLNX 21.12 -0.37) are hitting new 52-week lows while Marvell Technology (MRVL 39.54 -2.19) and Applied Materials (AMAT 15.83 -0.25) are hovering just above the worst levels over the last 12 months.
