This is the longer 6 week look at the Group stocks in terms of percent change. Even with the past up week, all stocks and indices are very red over this period. The week of 8/13 was the worst down week, followed by the weeks of 7/30 and 8/27. The bottom line "semi" numbers are deep in the red. Almost a 10 percent difference between those and the other indices. The semis tend to lead the market both on the upside and the downside. Going back to the previous bottoms, the semis hit bottom in Nov 08 while the SPX and DOW did not hit bottom until March of 09. Right now the recent trend of the semis has been down while the other 3 major indices have been basically "flat".
