Semiconductor Investment Timer
InsideChips' Semiconductor Investment Timer (SIT) uses several proprietary technical indicators to time medium-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 or Sell signal approximately every one to three months. The Philadelphia Stock Index (SOX) semiconductor market index is used as a measure of performance for the SIT timing signal.
The InsideChips SIT is verified and tracked by a third-party, TimerTrac (starting 5/17/2007). Click on link below to see current 12-month performance of SIT (the chart has a 7-day delay so only members see the latest signals).
The SIT signal is aimed at keeping you in the semiconductor ETFs when the prices are going up and in shorts or out of the market during declines or periods of uncertainty. Subscribers receive an E-mail 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

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.

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). . . .
