After-hours News
U.S. stocks finished slightly lower on late-day profit-taking before the weekend, sending the S&P 500 to its third straight weekly loss. U.S. Treasury Notes had their biggest decline in two months after measures of personal income and consumer confidence were better-than-expected.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio had a good day today as several longs rose substantially, offsetting minor losses in my short positions. The late-day sell-off led by semis was to be expected as many stocks had risen 8-12% in a very short period of time. I didn't trade today and the Portfolio is still 125% net long.
