BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Semi longs, Biotech longs, I-Banking longs and Energy-related shorts. I didn’t trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was mildly negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, sector performance was mostly negative and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were slightly above average into the close. Today's overall market action was mildly bullish. I say "mildly bullish" due to the fact that there were a number of potential negative catalysts, yet the bears failed to gain any downside traction. Foods, road and rail, insurance, drugs, wireless, telecom, semis, computer hardware and steel all finished higher today. The S&P 500 is 4.3% higher year-to-date and is ahead of where I would have expected at this point in the year. While the bears tried their very best to raise expectations for Google's (GOOG) report tonight, the company delivered once again. Moreover, the stock is the cheapest it has ever been as a publicly traded company by most metrics, which should provide an ample cushion going forward. I plan to add to my core long on any knee-jerk substantial weakness after hours or in the morning, as I would view it as the last chance to get in before a substantial push higher through year-end. I still expect the stock to exceed $600 before the end of the year. The stock is currently +13 from the close, in after-hours trading. The Nikkei is still indicated up 90 on the open tonight in Asia.
