The semis have shown a bit of strength recently. BRCM has held its own over the last week in the face of the market turmoil and recently formed a double bottom support in the $14 range. I'm looking at the Jan 2011 LEAPS calls. Since they are so far out, only the $15 strike has sufficient open interest for me to touch. The Jan '10 LEAPS calls don't offer much better OI than the '11s in the lower strikes so if I jump in it would probably be with the 2011's for the modest difference in price at the same strike which would give me a year more of time.

BRCM will probably supply chips to the new version of the apple iPhone. This will bost their sales, especially if the iPhone sells well. Its a good double hitter if you invest in both Apple and BRCM.

Even if Apple does bad, BRCM still has a new chip out that will be most likely used in a new mobile device.

<> BRCM also just made a new chip that can obtain the highest network ethernet speeds to date. This company, in my opinion, will revolutionize networking and internet speeds. It is a large company who can take hits, but it also is coming out with new products that could further i...

Why two semiconductor companies bucked the downtrend
Wednesday the market sold off in the last hour and major indexes ended the day with losses. Semiconductor indexes were underwater pretty much the entire day. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (IGW) ended down 1.72%.

Two well-known semiconductor companies were able to buck the downtrend and close with gains. Who were they and what were the reasons? Are there clues as to else might benefit?

Buried in the semiconductor supply chain are the companies that actually produce the chips for the firms that do much of the design work and handle sales to end users and OEMs.

The two biggest contract manufactur...
