Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Bill Gross, manager of the world’s biggest bond fund, said the Fed may stop raising interest rates at 4.75% or 5%, depending on inflation and the housing market.
- Exxon Mobil(XOM) and Chevron(CVX) are increasing exploration in Asia to lift production.
- President Bush nominated Andrew von Eschenbach to be permanent commissioner of the US FDA.
- Google Inc.(GOOG) hired a lobbying team that includes US House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s son as the company takes on an increasing number of battles in Washington.
- Crude oil fell for a second day in NY after the EIA reported that stockpiles rose a fifth straight week to their highest in almost 7 years.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Networking longs, Semi longs and Biotech longs. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was positive today as the advance/decline line finished higher, almost every sector rose and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was bullish. Today's economic data spurred cyclicals to substantial outperformance without sending long-rates significantly higher, which is a big positive. The Networking sub-sector of tech was very strong today and remains my favorite through year-end.
