Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Google will open a research and development center in China and recruited the founder of Microsoft’s Chinese lab, Kai-Fu Lee, as president of its Chinese unit.
- Hurricane Emily regained strength after pounding the Yucatan Peninsula and headed across the Gulf of Mexico toward northeast Mexico, prompting residents to brace for heavy wind and rain.
- President Bush has decided on his nominee to succeed retiring US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and will announce his choice in a 9pm televised White House speech. According to TradeSports.com, Judge Edith Jones is the frontrunner with a 39% chance of being chosen.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished substantially higher today on gains in my Internet, Networking, Semi and Retail longs. I did not trade in the afternoon, 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 about average. Measures of investor anxiety were lower into the close. Overall, today’s market action was positive. I expect stocks are likely nearing a consolidation point. Greenspan’s testimony tomorrow could provide the catalyst.
