Fairchild Semi.

Ouch. There aren’t a whole lot of New Buy Recommended securities this morning, which is to be expected after yesterday’s beating. In fact, there are only four issues that meet my minimum requirements this morning:

East West Bancorp Inc. (EWBC)

Fairchild Semiconductor International (FCS)

Granite Construction Inc. (GVA)

Legg Mason Inc. (LM)

Financials (IYF) took it on the nose yesterday (as did mostly everything) and now carry a neutral recommendation, but I’m still bullish on the sector for the near-term. I am surprised about Fairchild Semi. making it’s way to the top, especially considering Semiconductors (IGW) is our weakest rated sector. At this point, I’ve got to believe that semis are oversold, but until I see better breadth and more companies generating alpha, I’m not touching them.
