@MilosRoad- I had received an email notification of this comment last night & replied to you via email mistakenly thinking that it was sent via the contact form but will re-post my reply here for all to see:

You may very well prove to be right. I jumped the gun too early on some semi short trades in the last few month & also booked some nice profits on some others. However, I’ll wait patiently for the sector to confirm a likely trend change with SMH, XSD & SOXX all three confirming & if the bearish technical that are currently indicating a likely substantial correction in the sector dissipate, then so be it. No sell signal, no more shorts other than quick pullback trades.

Best of luck to you on those positions. I hope they continue to work out for you & if not, just make sure to cut your losses if they start to move against you & not to underestimate just how much the semis can & have dropped after similar bull runs in the past.

Appreciated. I like hearing dissenting views. Also appreciate all of Randy’s hard work of course!

From a technical view Semi’s look good. Swing Trading to the downside one of the strongest sectors IMO will prove to be a waste of time. The Semi-Conducter sector isn’t going to sneeze in 2017, in fact it likely outperforms considerably. IMO. It will remain the strongest sector. there are going to be a lot of situations where by shorting Semi’s will be very frustrating. February may provide some weakness but I’ll be levered and long Semi’s after Feb. 23 with an overweigh in AXTI, IIVI. Just a heads up is all.

I don’t agree, there are number of positions that Randy pointed out that can take a nice swing to the downside. Randy is pointing out from a technical view not what and how strong they are. Once the sector sneezes the ones that are or close to poise to go negative will take a quicker dive.
