BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly higher today on gains in my Computer longs, Semi longs, Software 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 almost unchanged, sector performance was mostly positive and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today's market performance was positive. Considering the rise in oil intraday, another bounce in long rates, more rumblings about Iran and recent gains, today's rise was even more impressive. The bond market's reaction to tomorrow's likely higher-than-expected import price index will probably dictate short-term trading in stocks.
