Dow, S& P 500 close at record highs

dow final

Click the chart for more stock market data.
The bulls are on a roll. Stocks rose again Tuesday, despite a lackluster report on retail sales and a brief glitch involving the Nasdaq.


The Dow Jones industrial average jumped more than 100 points, to finish at a record closing high. The Dow is still slightly below its all-time intraday high though.

The S& P 500 also gained and closed at a record high for a third straight day, while the Nasdaq finished at its highest level since September 2000.

Retail sales slipped 0.1% in September. The decline was the first since March but was in line with expectations.

A separate report showed that home prices kept rising in August, with prices in 20 big cities climbing at a 12.8% annual rate, according to the S& P/Case-Shiller index.

The Federal Reserve was also be in focus as the central bank kicked off its two-day policy meeting. A statement is due Wednesday afternoon. The Fed is widely expected to keep its stimulus measures in place, but investors will be looking for signs to determine when the Fed may begin scaling back, or tapering, its $85 billion monthly bond buying program.

Nasdaq index prices briefly halted: The Nasdaq Composite index and Nasdaq-100 stopped updating just before noon due to dissemination issues. The indexes resumed updating at 12:45 ET. Options trading was halted, but stocks listed on the Nasdaq were not affected.

Still, this glitch is the latest in a string of malfunctions at the Nasdaq that began with the marred debut of Facebook (FB, Fortune 500) in May 2012.

This month is not so good for pennies. Heard a lot of funds including foreign funds are dumping pennies. Probably the real pick-up will start end of November or December that is when the px  will reach a cheap point.Fund will come back by then.

You might have thought that they were possibly angels trying to prevent clients from indulging too much at the expense of their bottom lines.   Could be as on the one hand helping their clients who they rarely know and on the other screwing the income of their remisiers but I know that business people rarely sacrifice profits for the so-called " good heartedness" or kindness campaigns.   Lol.

Possible.The other issue to consider is the counter's fundenmental aspect.If brokerage houses anyhow imposed restriction then they are also killing themselves in term of revenue.I would take it positively.

Sg Stock market is apparently out of control and they can't do anything about it. Look at the brokerages.   They are governing the market instead of the SGX and MAS governing the market.  

Can't blame because the SGX/MAS are throwing in the hands-off signals to the market participants, body language indicates " do as you please, boys!!" . 

LMFAO Lol.
