Is the third time the charm today? WIll we get that record closed today
While the S&P and Dow industrial average have made numerous new highs since the July peak, the NASDAQ index has lagged behind both. Having said that, the NASDAQ index did lead the way in the first half of the year. SO the catch up by the other indices, helped to spread the love to other sectors since those highs.
Year-to-date the Dow industrial average is up 12.31%, while the S&P is up 22.31%. The NASDAQ index is still leading the way with a gain of 24.36% on the year.
