well, not quite true. the pmcs/mxim/rfmd group for example has been flat or slightly down for the last week. the nvls/brks group did a moonshot.
but the observation was more specific: e.g. the 5 min charts track each other precisely, percent by percent. we'll see tomorrow how company specific info affects the pmcs/mxim pair. (pmcs downgrade didn't really, so we'll see if mxim warning does).
