hey, fredricka and michael.ou know, it's at that point where the bulls have sort of run out of steam. you're seeing investors kind of take a breather at this point after stocks have had a great run-up for the past, what, ten sessions. the session is still young. four more hours for stocks to maybe even turn around. so that very well could happen, but we are still watching the dow because it very well could turn around and hit that 11th record in a row. also the s&p 500, that's within striking distance of its all-time high. the magic number for the s&p 500 is 1,565. five points away. that would actually be a bigger deal than the dow if the s&p 500 hits this record even blows through that record because the s&p 500 isn't just 30 stocks like the dow. it's 500 stocks. so what it is is it's more representative of the health of the market. also, your mutual funds, they most likely track the s&p 500. so as we watch the s&p 500 although it's a little lower, overall it is, you know, moving at great strides these days. yo
