Nasdaq leads the charge

All 3 major US indices are closing at record levels for the 2nd day in a row.

  • The S&P is up 9.01 points or 0.37% on the day. For the week, the broad index is up 0.99%
  • The Nasdaq is up 58.97 points today as tech was on fire. That is a gain of 0.94% for the day. For the week, the index is up 1.62%,
  • The Dow added 62.11 points or 0.29%. For the narrow 30 stock industrial index, the gain for the week was 0.59%..

For the year, each of the indices are not doing to shabby either.

  • The less volatile Dow is up 7.31%
  • The broader S&P is up 8.94%
  • The tech heavy Nasdaq is up a whooping 17.14%.

When you get these types of days, and see these kind of returns, I get the feeling there are a lot of money managers who are under performing and having to catch up. It is a dangerous game.
