Not as long as Semis keep getting hammered. NDX has been getting juice because of the weakness in energy sector which is about to put some sort of a bottom.
What you really ask yourself is why some of that money doesn't get cannalized into Semis?
I think you know the answer.
Where do you see the Semis getting hammered? They have been up since the start of the year, similar to the NDX.

This convo sounds like deja vu... on OIH if I recall correctly..
Are you saying that NDX is similar to OIH now DC? Seems like a legitmate question to me. The relative strength in NDX is rather obvious at this time. Or maybe you think my comments are fadable...is that what you're saying? Maybe you should make whatever you're saying clear.

This convo sounds like when you were bullish on OIH and XD was bearish OIH.
As for relative strength in NDX, I'm not sure what you're seeing. I see NDX with a broken trendline, I see it going up while A-D is negative, I see it having a negative McSum.. sure price seems to have jumped up a bit, but you have to remember that was a one day jump. You take that day out, it hasn't shown much strength since then.

What I am talking about is this....
I have been shorting select Semis since September for 4 months and I am up on that group more than NDX made since the summer lows...
Semis are in a full blooded bear market that will be more visible once the broad market tops out...

I have never traded OIH. I did trade SLB from the long side...with a small profit. XD got stopped out. And I hold NBR from some time ago...profitable although sadly diminished.
Sounds like you're fading me though...which I find laughable from a guy who missed the entire rally from the lows by shorting QQQQ. Sheesh.
