Lisa, have you ever compared the volatility of the SMH with other SPDRs such as the QQQQ? It appears to me that the SMH trends better and has less volatility than the QQQQ on both a daily and intra day basis. Therefore it is less prone to whip saws.

RtS has put the essential SEMI/SIA charts in one post. http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=13156381

As the charts are updated on photobucket.com they should update in RtS' post as well.

The host site lets you view a slide show of all 14 charts [poor quality on my pc] http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m225/maugott/SEMI%20charts/?

but if you click on the first thumbnail, you can then click 'next' repeatedly to see them all nice and sharp.
