BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Internet longs and Base Metal and Energy-related shorts. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market was mildly negative today as the advance/decline finished slightly lower, most sectors declined and volume was light. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today’s market action was slightly negative. I expect economic data tomorrow to come in mixed, resulting in another mildly negative day for stocks. An ISM reading below 50, which I expect, would make it very hard for the Fed to continue raising rates at the current pace. I continue to expect 10-year T-note yields to test 04 lows over the coming weeks.
