BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio is higher mid-day on gains in my Semiconductor, Medical and Medical Information Systems longs. I added to my RIG short and AUO long this morning, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market is positive as the advance/decline line is higher, most sectors are higher and volume is about average. Measures of investor anxiety are mostly higher. Today’s overall market action is positive considering the rise in energy prices. The fact that long-term rates are falling ahead of what will likely be a very good GDP report is a big positive and is the main catalyst for today's move higher in stocks.
