The major indices are all closing at record high levels, with today the Dow Industrial Average joining the S&P, Nasdaq and smaller cap Russell 2000 index (they each closed at records on Friday). The indices are also closing near the highs for the day.
Leading the way is the Russell 2000 which is up 2.2%. The NASDAQ rose by 0.95% and closed at the highs.
Of interest is that despite the solid gains, those gains were made without participation materially from Amazon (-0.87%), Netflix (-0.52%), Alphabet (-0.21%), Salesforce (-0.04%),Microsoft (+0.11%) and Apple (+0.11%). Is the market telling us something about big cap tech stocks?
