This is the weekly update of the 13 week rolling quarter for the SOXM stocks and major indices in both actual and percent terms. A down week rolled off to the left to be replaced on the right by a strong week to the upside. Net result, the bottom line number of 28.8 last week went to 56.6 this week. Eight of the 13 weeks were up and 5 weeks were down over the period. In general however, the up weeks were stronger than the down weeks adding to the overall good results. COHU is in first place with a gain of +51.5% to be followed by MKSI and BRKS with gains of over +40%. The last 3 weeks have produced 5 dark green blocks. The 3 weeks on the far left produced 5 dark green blocks for a total of 10. Then there are the 3 red blocks in the middle. It is almost like the 13 weeks have been "book ended". The far left 3 weeks totaled +30.3 while the recent 3 weeks have totaled +27.9. INTC is finally gaining some traction, up the last 5 weeks in a row to finish at +12.9% for the period. AMD is essentially "flat lining" with a gain of +2.2%. VECO is in last place, down -23.2%, never recovering from the -30% "hit" the week of 8/4. LRCX(+30.8%) and AMAT(+26.1%) are right next to each other in the table both receiving nice gains this past week due to expected good cap ex orders going forward.
