BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Retail longs, Telecom Longs, Semi longs and Internet longs. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was very positive today as the advance/decline line finished substantially higher, almost every sector rose and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. Today's overall market action was very bullish. I suspect many of the near-record shorts and underinvested bulls will add fuel to today's rally over the coming days. I continue to believe performance anxiety will come to the fore much sooner than normal, due to the S&P 500's 16.0% gain last year. The ISE Sentiment Index traded at depressed levels throughout the day and is finishing at 114.0. Hitwise.com is reporting that for the week ending 1/13/07, the share of searches for "iPhone" was greater than the weekly share of searches for "iPod" at any time during 2006. While most critical analysis of the iPhone focuses on its few drawbacks, little attention has been paid to the many negatives of the phones it will be competing with. I am very familiar with these products and continue to believe the iPhone will crush the competition and that Apple's (AAPL) future has never been brighter.
