BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today as losses in my Medical longs and Computer longs more than offset gains in my Energy-related shorts. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was mildly negative today as the advance/decline line finished modestly lower, most sectors declined and volume was very light. Measures of investor anxiety were higher into the close. Overall, today's action was good for the bears as the major averages and breadth finished near session lows. It seems as though technology shares come under pressure any time a weak housing number is released. Time and signs of stabilizing home sales will cure this. I still expect any early January weakness to be shallow and short-lived.
