If you have been around

    If you have been around long enough, you will remember when semis led literally everything in the market (2000ish). They are always something of the canary in the coal mine.  That is why you would be missing a big piece of the picture if you were not away that 2.618 extension of 2000 high to 2008 low @259.

    Last week’s high was 258.59.

    Don't think we are there

    Don't think we are there yet unless people start dropping like flies from the vaccines ... I don't expect that news or something equivically nutso (like an early Fed Funds increase)  to hit till the fall but it sure looks like it right now don't it ?  

    You are mixing your perception

    You are mixing your perception of fundamentals with technicals.

    I will take the evidence provided by a 20+ year chart pattern that is several standard deviations from the norm over any opinions of the fundamentals 100% of the time.

    I was literally one of the world largest traders of semis (by daily volume) at the time of the last top in 2000. Believe me, the funds that doing the buying, like Janus, were not operating on fundamentals. They were just operating as a function of money flows. 

    Great insight - thanks Chartboy.
