Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Baidu.com, China’s most-used Internet search engine, said second-quarter profit jumped more than sevenfold as it sold more Web advertising.
- US Treasuries rose, pushing 10-year note yields to the lowest in a month.
- The number of Americans traveling for the Labor Day weekend may have the smallest increase for any holiday period in more than two years amid record gasoline prices.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Medical and Semiconductor longs and Oil Tanker shorts. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market was modestly negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, most sectors fell and volume was below average. Measures of investor anxiety were mixed into the close. Overall, today’s market action was slightly negative as stocks continue to consolidate recent gains.
