I find this ratio of semiconductor stocks to oil service stocks very useful for the long-term market projections and asset allocation purposes. Energy stocks outperformance is usually bad for the broad market, while the semis outperformance just the opposite. Hence, the SOX/OSX ratio may provide some information about the market, which otherwise would stay under the surface. http://tinyurl.com/d4uj6 [/B][/QUOTE]
