BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished unchanged today as gains in my Retail longs and Internet longs offset losses in my Energy-related shorts. I covered my IWM and QQQQ shorts, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was mildly positive today as the advance/decline line finished modestly higher, sector performance was mixed and volume was very light. Measures of investor anxiety were lower into the close. Overall, today's action was slightly bullish considering the jump in energy prices. However, I expect better action to end the week.
