BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Energy-related shorts, Internet longs, Medical Information System longs and Semiconductor longs. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, most sectors fell and volume was slightly below average. Measures of investor anxiety were higher into the close. Overall, today’s market action was slightly negative. Insider buy of note: A director at Petco Animal Supplies (PETC) recently purchased 1,818,600 shares of the stock at $21.86-$21.94. The stock is down 40% this year.
