BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio is lower mid-day on losses in my Internet, Wireless and Homebuilding longs and Oil Tanker shorts. I have not traded today, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market is negative as the advance/decline line is weak, almost every sector is lower and volume is very light. Measures of investor anxiety are mixed. Today’s overall market action is mildly negative, given last week’s gains, rising energy prices, disappointing Fed comments and the light-volume nature of today’s decline. Oil gains will likely prove fleeting as prices drop next week after the Memorial Day weekend. I expect US stocks to rise modestly into the close on short-covering and a decline in energy prices from session highs.
