Afternoon Recommendations
Deutsche Bank:
- Downgraded (CTRP) and (SINA) to Hold.
Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Amazon.com(AMZN) said first-quarter profit fell 35% after increasing spending. The shares rose as much as 6.4% after the company raised its sales and profit forecast for the year.
- Corning Inc.(GLW) said sales rose 20% as customers bought more LCD televisions.
- Felipe Calderon, the former energy minister for Mexican President Vicente Fox, took the lead in a presidential poll for the first time, surpassing former Mexico City Mayor Andres Lopez Obrador.
AP:
- An Israeli spy satellite was launched into orbit from Russia today. The satellite is capable of monitoring Iran’s nuclear program. Iran’s President said again yesterday that Israel should be destroyed.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today as losses in my Internet longs and Biotech longs more than offset gains in my Energy-related shorts, Networking longs and Index shorts. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 25% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, sector performance was mostly negative and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was only mildly bearish considering the rise in long-term rates and recent stock gains. The bears were again unable to capitalize on morning weakness. I will wait to see the bond market's reaction to tomorrow's new home sales and durable goods reports before further shifting market exposure.
