Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- French President Chirac threatened to derail international trade talks by ruling out further cuts in European Union farm subsidies and tariffs.
- GM, which gets more than a quarter of its revenue from large pickups and sport-utility vehicles, is adding a line of small SUVs that will get better fuel mileage than the larger models.
- DaimlerChrysler AG, Siemens AG, and Volvo AB are among 2,253 companies that paid illegal kickbacks to Saddam Hussein to win business from the oil-for-food program which was designed to allow Hussein to sell oil to buy food and medicine for impoverished Iraqis, former US Fed chairman Volcker said today in a report.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today on losses in my Retail longs, Semi longs and Medical longs. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market very negative today as the advance/decline line finished substantially lower, every sector declined and volume was average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today’s market action was negative. A variety of stocks sustained meaningful damage. Buyers walked away in many cases. We are approaching the type of action I would expect to see at a tradable market bottom. I expect stocks to hold recent lows seen two weeks ago and embark upon a strong rally next month.
