BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Semiconductor, Networking and Retail longs and Oil Tanker shorts. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was slightly positive today as the advance/decline line finished higher, sector performance was mixed and volume was about average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today’s market action was modestly positive. Even though the S&P 500 hasn't budged for about 10 days, the underlying tone of the market remains positive. I believe another upwards push will occur over the next few weeks.
