BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my internet, homebuilding, semi and healthcare longs. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 125% net long. Once again, the tone of the market improved throughout the day as volume increased and the major indices closed near their highs. Today's mild gains should be considered a win for the bulls as the US dollar fell and energy rose. As well, it is a positive to see long-term rates decline again even as cyclicals and small-caps outperformed.
