BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio is substantially higher mid-day on gains in my Semiconductor, Medical, Retail longs and Oil Tanker shorts. I added to a few existing longs and added MDRX long today, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. I am using a stop-loss of $16 on this position. The tone of the market is slightly positive as the advance/decline line is about even, most sectors are higher and volume is about average. Measures of investor anxiety are lower. Today’s overall market action is positive considering the rise in long-term rates. It appears as though investors liked the Fed’s Beige Book report that portrayed a “Goldilocks” style US economy. I expect stocks to trade higher into the afternoon on short-covering.
