Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Natural gas fell to the lowest in almost two years in NY as moderate US temperatures cut demand for the fuel and speculators abandoned losing bets on the commodity.
- Xilinx(XLNX) said second-quarter sales may fall 4-7%, slightly more than originally forecast. The stock is down .02 on the news.
Mobile Press-Register:
- Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and two siblings are part of a group that plans to build a $624 million auto-racing track in southwestern Alabama.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Internet longs, Medical longs and Computer 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, most sectors rose and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Overall, today's market performance was bullish. Natural gas finished near session lows and oil barely bounced notwithstanding recent declines. The tone of the broad market is very good right now and feels more like November than September. I suspect this bodes very well for a strong finish to the year. Tomorrow's import price index will likely rise less than estimates, while retail sales will probably exceed estimates.
