Sector Spotlight: Semiconductors

Before I decided to buy PALM, there was one stock that I felt was ridiculously cheap and strongly pondered buying it in size. Her name was: RMBS.

Alert: Rant forthcoming

C*cksucker, Motherf*cker!

Damn you RMBS and all the profits you throw off to lucky shareholders. Granted, if you owned it at $40, you, being the unlucky shareholder that you are, probably would like to see the CEO on a pike or the CFO in silver bracelets on his way to share a cell with Schillinger in Oz. But, for the lucky or smart few who were determined to buy it between $10-11, just three weeks ago, RMBS is God.

That's Wall Street. Fortunes are made and lost without need of explanation or rationale.

Fuck.

In case you were wondering what I thought about today's trading action, I haven't quite figured it out yet. So far, so good.

As for the semi's: Some of them really rock and some really don't rock.

For example, the CMOS I sold on Friday is up another 10% today, while stocks like SMDI, GNSS and MRVL stay in the doghouse.

Its a stock pickers market people. Do your homework.

The following semi's are showing some mojo:

CMOS +11%
NVEC +9.3%
ESST +8.8%
RMBS +8.5%
ASTSF +8.3%
MFLX +5.5%
SIGM +4%
IDWK +4%
AMKR +3.4%
AMD +3%

NOTE: I could be wrong, but I feel the energy sector may be ripe to fall.
