The Applied Finance Group's (AFG’s) valuation techniques have proven successful at identifying mispriced securities. Clients use the tools built by AFG to identify investment opportunities in order to outperform their benchmarks.

Has the time come to take profit in chip stocks? The sector has been on a tear, with the SOX up 45% since the November bottom. Citigroup’s Glen Yeung wrote a note this morning which pointed out that “investors are naturally considering taking profits,” and that that this will likely be the case in the near term.
