Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) Skids, Down 26% From

February High
Communications chipmaker Skyworks Solutions (SWKS, $27.74) fell nearly 7%
yesterday on heavy volume topping 19 million shares (average daily volume is 5.6
million shares) after Charter Equity said the company might lose some positioning
in the iPhone 5 to competitors TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT, $12.57) and/or
Avago Technologies (AVGO, $32.47).

Skyworks shares continued lower today, dropping 3.4% on volume of 12.7 million
shares, despite both Deutsche Bank and UBS coming out to defend the stock, saying
there is nothing certain with respect to the component suppliers for the next iPhone.

The stock is now off 26.6% from its 52-week high of $37.82 reached on February 14.

On March 9, Tech-Stock Prospector closed out a long position in Skyworks from

May 2010 with a gain of 117%.
