BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished lower today on losses in my Internet and Airline longs. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market weakened into the afternoon as the advance/decline finished near its daily lows, almost every sector fell and volume was light. Measures of investor anxiety were higher into the close. Overall, today’s market action was negative considering energy prices finished lower. Rumors of a large hedge fund “blow-up” were behind today’s sell-off. I suspect these fears are exaggerated. The spike in the NYSE Arms is a positive. In my opinion, any further declines over the coming weeks should be viewed as buying opportunities for longer-term investors.
