That could very well be but there are other factors at work as well in the case of Micron and INTC.
It might be profit taking in LRCX and AMAT... plus rotation into some losing positions from last year. I believe the others did well last year too.

Just read the article released in SA today. The "sharp knives" are out for MU and INTC

Intel's Split Is Really Bad News For Micron Technology
Jan. 11, 2018 8:06 AM ET

Excerpt:

Summary

Micron Technology and Intel has announced it will discontinue its 3D NAND joint development program.

Micron's stock has been moving sideways for the past quarter based on several negative news articles.

There are now reports that Intel may form a joint development with China's Tsinghua Unigroup, a company that tried to buy Micron a few years ago.

Might there be investor concern about the security problems in microprocessors? I could see where investors may be rotating out of semi stocks into sectors that clearly benefit more from the tax cuts until this settles out. I am watching MU to see if it holds the short term rising bottoms pattern - or not.

Just a thought from a nobody lurker. LOL
