Big Week For Equities Sends All US Indices To All-Time Highs

Stocks suffered early in the day on Friday, but rallied late with the Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ all closing with marginal gains. Only the NYSE Composite ended the day in the red, down about a point-and-a-half.

Even with options expiry, Friday was barely exciting, but, for the week, the US averages were, in a word, incredible.
