Stocks had trouble holding on to gains early in the week but large caps thrived off a string of good news to close in positive territory for the week. Small caps also came off their lows for the week after early trouble but it wasn’t enough to wipe out the early losses.
Stocks slipped this week as the Senate put out their version of the tax bill which had a few significant contrasts with the House version.
The relentless uptrend of stocks continued this week despite poor earnings reports and lackluster news on the road to tax cuts.
Stocks were mixed this week with low volume trading and low volatility. Large caps were up slightly while small caps pulled back amidst the anticipation of the tax cuts.
