Published: July 3, 2019 1:03 p.m. ET
U.S. stocks finished on a strong note in a holiday-shortened session, pushing all three key equity benchmarks to new heights, amid increased expectations for more dovish policy. The S&P 500 SPX, +0.77% was up 0.8% to finish around 2,996. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.67% advanced 176 points, or 0.7%, to end near 26,962. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.75% climbed 0.8% to close around 8,170. The S&P clinched its third all-time high in a row, and set a new intraday high of 2,995.83. The Dow set a record close, and also hit an intraday high of 26,965.48. The S&P recorded a five-day winning streak, while the Nasdaq recorded six straight days of gains
In the summer of 2000, I looked out the window at the Edward Jones office and said to myself, “I never thought I would see the DJIA go over 10,000.
Next week, I will change that to 27,000.

I guess that’s why they closed the market early....to stop anymore Trump win....me I’m not yet tired of winning.
I’ve only had my S&P 500 index fund for a month, and it’s up three percent. IRA has kept the same balance for years now despite withdrawals exceeding the minimum. And this market still has a full head of steam.
