BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today on losses in my Semi longs and Internet longs. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was mixed today as the advance/decline line finished about even, sector performance was mixed and volume was above-average. Measures of investor anxiety were higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was neutral. However, the Nasdaq displayed exceptional resilience. The ISE Sentiment Index finished down 19% to a below-average 111, which is a positive. Even with the recent rise in commodities, the CRB is still 14 points below January highs. This was the type of healthy consolidation I am happy to see in the major average after yesterday’s sharp rise.
