Gottfried, Good chart which shows the difference, but let me go back to the original chart showing the period from 21 Nov 2008, the SOX bottom, along with the curves for AMAT, MU, and SNDK. If you notice the period around the Nov 2012 area, AMAT is "riding" right along the X-axis with no, or very little gain, on the Y-axis. From that point on, the 3 curves for AMAT, MU, and SNDK are all going in an upward pattern with MU showing the steepest ascension.. So taking that point of Nov 2012, the 2nd chart shows the "reset" of 0 percent for the SOX and the other 3 curves to give the "picture" going forward to the present. In this 2nd chart, SNDK is nearly a perfect "fit" to AMAT until just recently in April when SNDK breaks away to the upside. MU of course, true to the 1st chart, shows a stronger move to the upside. So, in very round ballpark numbers, from Nov 2012, about 18 months ago, the SOX is up about 80 percent, AMAT is up about 100+ percent, SNDK is up about 150 percent, and MU is up about 420 percent.
