BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio is higher mid-day on gains in my Computer, Medical and Retail longs. I pared my IWM and QQQQ shorts this morning and added NVDA long, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. I am using a $29 stop-loss on this position. The tone of the market is positive as the advance/decline line is higher, most sectors are gaining and volume is light. Measures of investor anxiety are lower. Today’s overall market action is modestly positive, considering the fall in energy prices and positive economic data. Insider Buy of Note: John Nelley, an officer and director of Duke Realty (DRE), recently purchased 54,229 shares @ $31.39, bringing his holdings to 259,794. I expect US stocks to trade mixed-to-lower from current levels into the close as stocks consolidate recent gains.
