BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Networking longs, Internet longs, Medical longs and Energy-related shorts. I exited my (IWM)/(QQQQ) shorts and another existing short in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was slightly negative today as the advance/decline line finished about even, sector performance was mostly lower and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mixed into the close. Overall, today's market action appeared to be a healthy consolidation of recent gains. Throughout the day, tech stocks outperformed and Google (GOOG) traded better than it has for quite some time. The CRB Index broke back below its 200-day moving-average. The 10-year yield remained slightly lower, ahead of Bernanke's speech tonight. span>
