BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio is substantially higher mid-day on gains in my Homebuilding, Internet, Wireless and Computer longs. I exited a Software long this morning and added INSP long, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. I am using a $32 stop-loss on this position. The tone of the market is positive as the advance/decline line is higher, most sectors are higher and volume is below average. Measures of investor anxiety are mostly lower. Today’s overall market action is positive, given last week’s gains and the morning bounce in energy prices. I expect US stocks to rise modestly into the close on short-covering, lower long-term interest rates, declining energy prices and strength in the Tech sector.
