BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Internet longs, Semiconductor longs, Airline longs and Oil Tanker shorts. I exited my IWM and QQQQ shorts and added PWR long in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was modestly positive today as the advance/decline line finished slightly higher, most sectors rose and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today’s market action was neutral. The Utility Index is up 51.33% over the last 12 months and is hitting an all-time high today. Historically, this index would be showing some weakness if a substantial increase in inflation was on the horizon.
