Weekend Wrap: Dull Markets Post Solid Gains For Week

As far as financial highlights and highjinks were concerned, the second week of September was rather uneventful though fairly propitious for investors in high-quality stocks.

The Dow closed out the week at its best level in seven months, just 500 points from the all-time high set back in January (26,616.71).

The NASDAQ posted the best gains of the week, rising 1.36%.

Pretty standard stuff. Elon Musk didn't even do anything weird.
