BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Computer longs, Semi longs, Medical longs and Retail longs. I did not trade today, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was modestly positive today as the advance/decline line finished higher, sector performance was mixed and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mixed into the close. Overall, today’s action was bullish considering long-term rates bounced, oil held steady, fears over Iran’s nuclear program rose and the DJIA closed above 11,000 again after a morning decline of 60 points. Ituran Location (ITRN), one of my recent small long additions, broke to a new high today on 4x average volume. This Israeli stock's performance is even more impressive considering recent Middle Eastern news events. I expect the stock to trade in the low $20s in a fairly short period of time as this recent IPO gets discovered.
