BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished lower today on losses in my Biotech longs, Semi longs, Networking longs and Energy-related shorts. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, most sectors fell and volume was below average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today's performance was moderately bearish. However, it was a positive that the bears were unable to gain traction on the downside. As well, the homebuilders (HGX), which have been the source of recent angst, finished near session highs, rising .23% for the day. I will closely watch the market's reaction to tomorrow's CPI report before further shifting market exposure.
