BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished substantially higher today on gains in my Medical, Biotechnology, Semiconductor 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 modestly higher, most sectors rose and volume was slightly above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today’s market action was positive. It appears as though the major averages will penetrate the upper end of their recent trading ranges imminently.
