Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- PIMCO, manager of the world’s largest bond fund, is trimming its holdings of emerging-market debt, one of the hottest areas of the fixed-income market in recent years.
- US 10-year Treasuries fell the most in more than a week after the government sold $13 billion of the securities, adding supply at a time when the Fed is signaling that it may raise interest rates further.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished lower today on losses in my Retail longs, Internet longs, Networking longs and Semi longs. I covered some of my (IWM) and (QQQQ) shorts in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 25% net long. The tone of the market was very negative today as the advance/decline line finished substantially lower, almost every sector fell and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was very bearish. After such a large decline, a short-term bounce higher could occur at any time, however I expect measures of investor anxiety to spike higher before a more durable bottom is in place. This will likely coincide with a substantial rotation out of the most economically sensitive stocks.
