Semiconductor Investment Timer

InsideChips' Semiconductor Investment Timer (SIT) uses several proprietary technical indicators to time short-term entry and exit points into a portfolio of semiconductor stocks (ETFs), such as the SMH, PSI, IGW, XSD, USD, SSG. The investment timer generates a Buy, Sell, or Cash signal approximately every one to three months.

The InsideChips SIT is verified and tracked by a third-party, TimerTrac. Click on link below to see the current performance of SIT (the chart has a built-in delay so only members see the latest signals).   

The SIT signal is aimed at keeping investors in long positions in semiconductor ETFs when the prices are going up, in short positions when prices are declining, or in cash during of uncertainty.  Subscribers receive an E-mail alert when the SIT signal changes.

Here is how the SIT signal works:

  • Green Light: buy long position in semiconductor ETF
  • Red Light: buy short position in semiconductor ETF 
  • Yellow Light: proceed with caution, exit the long or short position and move into a cash position

Semiconductor Investment Timer (SIT)
Updated Regularly
Semiconductor Investment Timer (SIT) The Semiconductor Investment Timer (SIT) is InsideChips' proprietary timing indicator to aid in timing short-term semiconductor sector stock investments. The semiconductor market index utilized to measure the Buy and Sell performance of the SIT signals is the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector index (SOX). Investors, who have an interest to have part of their tech portfolio in semiconductor equities, can use semiconductor ETF vehicles, such as SMH, PSI, IGW, XSD, USD or SSG to trade the SIT signals. SIT provides investors with Buy and Sell signals with the intent of maximizing returns from upside and downside moves in the SOX while moving investors to a Cash position during market turbulence and uncertainty. Investors willing to assume more risk can utilize margin and options strategies. . . . Continue
Investment Strategy Description
Steve Szirom
Due to the uncertainties in world geopolitics, the changes in U.S. economic fundamentals, the energy wild card, supply-and-demand influences and other unpredictable factors, we do not believe that a long-term holding strategy is the best approach to high-tech stock investing. The semiconductor industry is a cyclical business with significant short-term and medium-term swings in stock prices. This short-term and medium term cyclicality presents opportunities for investment profits. Our trading strategy relies on being "in tune" with the dynamics of the semiconductor industry sector based on long years of industry experience and on our proprietary indicator timing coupled with a an unemotional and consistent execution methodology using Insidechips' proprietary Semiconductor Investment Timer (SIT). . . .
