Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Chevron Corp.(CVX) said it acquired five oil sands leases, boosting its holdings in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta.
- Google Inc.(CEO) Schmidt said he sees no limit to the Internet search engine’s ability to increase advertising revenue, a bullish outlook that allayed investor concerns about slowing growth.
- Fidelity Investments, the world’s largest mutual fund company, said earnings rose 20% last year, helped by rising stock prices and its brokerage business.
- The US Senate voted 89-10 to renew the USA Patriot act, ending a 2 1/2 –month stalemate over the law that gave the FBI expanded powers to investigate terrorism suspects after the Sept. 11 attacks.
- Crude oil rose as speculation increased that OPEC would cut production after the President of the group warned of a potential “dramatic” price decline in oil.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Internet longs, Computer longs and Networking longs. I existed an existing long and added (CIEN) long 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 modestly lower, sector performance was mixed and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was just slightly bearish. However, the bears failed to gain traction once again, even as oil and long-term rates rose. I expect stocks to make another push higher soon on another round of short-covering.
