The semiconductors have had a great run in the past year, but I recommend we use caution. For example, AMAT-is really having a hard time advancing through its year 2000 bubble .com highs. Does this warn us of trouble for the chip stocks? I believe the answer is yes. Some of the new technologies may make stocks like NVDA-or-CY-keep going for a while, but.... I have seen this danger before. Use caution.
One other note: adjusted for inflation-AMAT is 20% under its year 2000 peak.
My next chart will be of-INTC. This stock is not even close to its year 2000 peak. And, adjusted for inflation, it should be 20% higher.
