After-hours News
U.S. stocks finished quietly mixed today ahead of the Fed rate announcement tomorrow. After the close, U.S. lawmakers have been advised to take underground tunnels when they walk from their offices to the Capitol for votes instead of going outside where they might be vulnerable to a terrorist attack, Time magazine reported. MCI Inc., which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002 following an $11 billion accounting fraud, said it make $453 million of errors in its reorganization, Bloomberg said. Mylan Labs said its drug-pricing is being investigated in California, Bloomberg said.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today on weakness in my medical and gaming longs and strength in my steel shorts. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 25% net long.
