Are Stock Markets Headed for Record Highs -- or a Crash?
Thursday was another strong day for the stock market, extending the upward streak for major market benchmarks to four consecutive days. In stark contrast to the dour mood heading into the weekend before the U.S. elections, investors now seem to be far more comfortable with their view of what's likely to play out politically in the near future. That was enough to send the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) higher by 2% to 3% on Thursday.
