Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Husky Energy, a Canadian oil company, said a hydrocarbon discovery in an oil field offshore Newfoundland and Labrador may boost reserves by about 38%. The discovery in the White Rose field could contain 40 million to 90 million barrels of oil.
- Natural-gas prices fell for the third straight session as temperatures eased in the northern US, trimming demand for the fuel used by power plants to meet air-cooling needs.
Reuters:
- Canadian officials said a gosling that was infected with bird flu in the province of Prince Edward Island didn’t carry the deadly H5N1 Asian strain.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly higher today on gains in my Networking longs and Energy-related shorts. I added to my (EEM), (IWM) and (QQQQ) shorts today, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% 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 below average. Measures of investor anxiety were lower into the close. Overall, today's market performance was mildly bearish. The Johnson Redbook same-store sales index rose 3.2% year over year last week vs. a 3.1% rise the prior week. The long-term average is again of around 2.5%. I continue to see little evidence that a significant decline in consumer spending is on the horizon. I do, however, still expect to see retail sales decelerate back to average levels by next month.
