BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Biotech longs, Internet longs, Computer longs, Semi longs and Networking longs. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 100% net long. The tone of the market was positive today as the advance/decline line finished higher, almost every sector gained and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly lower into the close. The AAII % Bulls fell to 40.18% this week from 40.19% the prior week. This reading is still below average levels. The AAII % Bears rose to 35.71% this week from 34.58% the prior week. This reading is still above average levels. I expect bullish sentiment to fall again next week. Considering the DJIA is above 11,000, the Russell 2000 is almost 9% higher for the year and a number of sectors are near all-time highs, these numbers bode very well for future gains in U.S. stocks.
