This is the weekly update of the 13 week rolling quarter for the Group stocks in terms of percent change. Here the results have an even wider range of performance. At the top of the table, FSII and UTEK are up over 20 percent while at the bottom of the table, 9 of the stocks are down over 10 percent with MTSN down 43.4 percent.

At the bottom line all results are negative with the exception of the DOW managing a very small 0.2 percent gain. Over the 13 weeks, the semis have had poorer results than the other 3 major indices, which of course includes the Nasdaq. Looking over the 13 week period, the number of major moves over 10 percent, on a weekly basis for so many stocks is truly amazing. Many of the weekly moves are much greater than 10 percent.

The market has been extremely "choppy" lately. In the table this week, 7 of the weeks have been positive and 6 negative.
