Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:

- US Chief Justice William Rehnquist, who is fighting thyroid cancer, was admitted to the hospital last night with a fever.

- UK Prime Minister Tony Blair urged Muslim leaders to help root out terrorists in their communities and stop those who “twist” the teachings of their own religion after attacks in London killed at least 52 people.
Xinhua News Agency:

BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Internet, Semiconductor and Networking longs. I did not trade in the afternoon, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was neutral today as the advance/decline line finished modestly lower, sector performance was mixed and volume was below average. Measures of investor anxiety were mixed into the close. Overall, today’s market action was slightly positive. The Morgan Stanley Healthcare Providers Index (RXH) was down about 3% today on HCA's (HCA) disappointing results. I would not be a buyer at current levels and expect this group to underperform through year end.
