“This endless increase in tech, taking a tad of a breather today in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX) but no letup in the Nasdaq, has me searching for a strategy that can profit from the increase. would love to pose this one to you. I would emphasize that you have to get long this PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQQ) for a Christmas rally -- the move up is too unbearable to ignore. The entire mindset of this market is that the worst is over for tech and that we are in 2003, when Microsoft (MSFT), Intel (INTC), Oracle (ORCL) and Cisco (CSCO) just took off, taking a ton of players with them, like Citrix (CTXS) or Corning (GLW) or Symantec (SYMC) and Adobe (ADBE). I didn't see that one coming in 2003, although I got caught up buying EMC (EMC) and Corning, which worked and worked big. I also bought Conexant (CNXT) and Lucent, which worked for a time and then failed miserably. So, you buy the index. Then you try to find the ones that are up too much vs. the index, and you short them.
