BOTTOM LINE: I expect US stocks to finish the week mixed as less financial sector pessimism, lower long-term rates, declining economic fear, diminishing healthcare reform worries, investment manager performance anxiety and mostly positive earnings reports offset more shorting and profit-taking. My trading indicators are giving bullish signals and the Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the week.
