BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished lower today on losses in my Internet longs, Computer longs and Retail longs. I exited added to my (IWM)/(QQQQ) shorts in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market was very negative today as the advance/decline line finished substantially lower, sector performance was mostly negative and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today's market performance was bearish. The reversal higher in oil and 6-basis-point rise in the 10-year yield were the main culprits. As I have said before, there are a record number of market participants that benefit from a bearish or trading range environment. When we have rallies of the magnitude we have recently seen, they are sold vigorously for a short period of time. Today's action appears no different. I expect housing data on Thursday and Friday to calm interest rate jitters.
