BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished substantially higher today on gains in my Energy-related shorts, Steel shorts, Internet longs and Retail longs. I added SCHN short and took some profits in other shorts in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, most sectors declined and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were lower into the close. Overall, today’s market action was negative. Take a look at the charts of ENER (-10.1%), CPST (-7.06%), NGS (-23.6%), ABP (-19.9%), SGY (-14.14%), SYNM (-3.44%) and BCON(-12.1%). There are many, many others. These formally loved speculative energy stocks are collapsing. This reminds me very much of what happened to the Internet stocks in March of 2000. There were many vigorous rallies thereafter and they were all sells.
