FWIW I think going short the Qs and long semis could be a nice ST trade here. They have diverged pretty wildly recently. This hasn't be a positive for the Qs historically.

The ratio chart below looks like you could see a rally back to the 50dma.
But is this going to be a repeat of early summer '04 which saw the rally fail?

I think buying calls on stocks like NVLS, KLAC, AMAT and LRCX prior to earnings may be a nice gamble. Bad news may be priced in. I think NVLS reports first so it may pay to buy calls on KLAC/LRCX after seeing the reaction to NVLS.
