Today was a light economic data and impact day for traders, yet many stocks and sectors were on the move. The strong dollar took a bite out of gold and took a bite out of oil. The notion that the government trimmed its loss expectations from what it expected in the bank and financial firm bailouts was hardly noticed in the financial sector today. We also had Ben Bernanke caution that it was too early to declare a victory in the recovery being a lasting one.... In short, rates won't be raised any time soon yet. Frankly, with how the markets whipped around, a closing bell being up or down was not something known directionally until the final minutes of the morning.

Here were today's unofficial closing bell levels:

Dow 10,388.97 +0.07 (0.00%)
S&P 500 1,103.17 -2.81 (-0.25%)
Nasdaq 2,189.22 -5.13 (-0.23%)

This post is part of a report entitled "Six-pack of technology favorites." You can read about the other top tech stock picks here.

"To play the classic semiconductor-cycle (buying on a down-cycle and selling after an up-cycle), go with NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA)," say Ron Rowland and Brandon Clay.

The editors of All Star Investor explain, "This graphic chip manufacturer stumbled earlier this year, but we find a compelling a turnaround story." Here's his review.

"This is a difficult environment for short-term investors. When the Dow jumps up 200 points one day, and crashes 200 points the next, it's hard to tell where to turn. Calling bottoms is nearly impossible

"In this market, we have become value investors -- seeking an inexpensive company that's almost-undiscovered by mainstream investors.

"Technology is not typically known as a place for value. In fact, quite the opposite. Since the Tech crash, a shift has happened. Certain semiconductors have been hammered over the past several years -- especially in the last 12 months.

"One of those, a leader in graphics chips, has been especially beaten down. NVIDIA fell from a 52-week high of $39.67 last October. The Santa Clara-based chip designer is now trading around $12.00 today. Did it really deserve the punishment the market delivered? We don't think so.
