Sluggish Session Sends S&P to All-Time Highs in Final Half-Hour

The headline tells almost the whole story. Stocks languished in a narrow trading range all day until doubling gains in the final half hour. There was absolutely nothing newsworthy by which to move stocks in any particular direction.

All hail day-traders and Mr. Janet Yellen. Oh, and Twitter, the money-losing company with an estimated IPO value of $16 billion.

Cheers.
