Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:

Financial Times:

BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today on losses in my Internet and Homebuilding longs. I trimmed some existing longs in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished at session lows, most sectors fell and volume was around average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today’s market action was modestly negative. Tech stocks outperformed throughout the day, finishing around breakeven. Stocks will likely remain under modest pressure until energy prices stabilize.
