Applied Materials Still Tops Nasdaq

Since our last report in July we again don't see much turnover here. We only have two new companies in our top-ten list--Facebook and Microchip Tech. They replaced Activision and Citrix. Broadcom moved up into third position and displaced Intel. NetEase, Cisco, and CA Inc all fell in rank. Texas Instruments remains in the last spot, while Applied Materials and LAM Research still have a lock on the top of our NASDAQ list.. As is typically the case with this index, our top-ten is dominated by tech firms.
