The Street.com's Jim Cramer says that after a tough week, the semiconductor industry finally gets some good news.

Will Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) (Cramer's Take) give what TriQuint (NASDAQ: TQNT) (Cramer's Take) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) (Cramer's Take) took away?

Last week, we had the one-two punch of TriQuint and Broadcom really making the whole Internet tsunami look more like a tropical storm. They both talked about withering demand, and Broadcom verified the bears' double-order thesis, but this morning Marvell says that things are on target, there's no wavering and demand is strong. Bears can take their pick.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the tech industry benefits because the Obama administration pays it little attention.

When you get a streak like technology's had here -- and I am including the Nasdaq as a barometer of tech, with its 11th consecutive positive close -- you have to ask yourself: Is there something going on that's even bigger than the visible themes? I'm talking something beyond low inventories for semis, new product cycles based on Internet mobile, and valuations that got out of hand to the downside.

And I think I have it.

Washington doesn't care about tech. Tech can do what it wants. Tech's not unionized, so Card Check and arbitration, the next battleground, doesn't affect it. Tech doesn't pollute much, so cap-and-trade doesn't mean much. Tech's not much for pensions or for any help from the government with health care. It has virtually no legacies and is largely 401(k).

Way back in early March I highlighted 10 horrifically downtrending stocks and said not to even think about buying them until they broke their nasty trendlines to the upside.

Over the past few weeks, many have displayed solid sideways price action, but it wasn't until yesterday that the high volume breakouts occurred. I'm talking about those 50+ million shares traded, 10%+ price surges beautifully accomplished by such popular names like Sprint Nextel Corp (NYSE: S), Broadcom Corp (NASDAQ: BRCM) and Level 3 Communications Inc (NASDAQ: LVLT).

Unsurprisingly, several other stocks also showed similarly strong price action:

RF Microdevices Inc (NASDAQ: RFMD)
Anadigics Inc (NASDAQ: ANAD)
Skyworks Solutions Inc (NASDAQ: SWKS)
Triquint Semiconductor Inc (NASDAQ: TQNT)
China Life Insurance Co. Ltd (NYSE: LFC)
Raymond James Financial Inc (NYSE: RJF)
Cerner Corp (NASDAQ: CERN)

TriQuint SemiconductorAs its name would imply, TriQuint Semiconductor (NASDAQ: TQNT) is in the chips business. The company maintains a niche in the competitive field by using materials other than silicon to manufacture circuits for use in cell phones, fiber-optic equipment, and other technology. Specifically, TQNT manufacturers its devices with gallium arsenide (GaAs), which can operate faster and more efficiently than its silicon rivals.

After a rough fall from the top along with the rest of the technology sector during the early part of the decade, TQNT has started to show some renewed strength. The equity's relative strength compared to the S&P 500 Index has been impressive of late, with the shares outperforming the broader market since early April.

OregonMy recent Investing in Oregon post took a look at some companies that the Motley Fool had featured in its investigation of investment opportunities in the Beaver State, including Precision Castparts Corp. (NYSE: PCP), StanCorp Financial Group Inc. (NYSE: SFG), FLIR Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR), and Columbia Sportswear Co. (NASDAQ: COLM).


But the Motley Fool article also mentioned that one of the most prominent business influences in Oregon wasn't even headquartered in the state: semiconductor giant Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) from Santa Clara, California. It also included mention of four Oregon-based businesses that provided support for Intel: Tektronix Inc. (NYSE: TEK), Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), Triquint Semiconductor Inc. (NASDAQ: TQNT), and Electro Scientific Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: ESIO). One could imagine that Intel's impressive earnings report this week should have been good news for these supporting companies.

Beaverton-based Tektronix, widely known as Tek, is one of the leading makers of test and measurement equipment, such as digital multimeters, logic analyzers, and curve tracers, and oscilloscopes. Tek will win its seventh technical Emmy this year. Tek beat Wall Street expectations in its previous three quarters, reporting earnings per share of 40 cents for its first quarter FY2008. But the consensus of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial was to hold shares of Tek. The share price reached a 52-week high of $37.95 on Monday when it was announced that Danaher Corp. (NYSE: DHR) will acquire Tek. Tool and equipment maker Danaher just announced record third quarter results.
