Doug; for this sector ( semi ) I see INTC as the bellweather. and MSFT to software. If I had VLSI I would dump it, before she dumps..some funds are holding her up but she is next. Every one looked at the DOW and S&P today but the SOXX sold off into the rally.. And vlsi is part of the SOXX but didn't get hit, I would get out while the gitting is still good.

The tech sector is full of options to insiders that exceed the profits the company can make. Sharing the wealth I can understand but giving a bonus in excess of profits , and in fact when the stock is tanking don't make sense. Respectable companies don't do this. This SOXX could be doing a blow off bottom, but only if the rest of the market can hold her gains..which I doubt. Jim Jim
