July 3, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Filed under: Investing The stock market closed three hours early today ahead of the Fourth of July holiday tomorrow. That didn’t stop investors from sending both the Dow and the S&P 500 Index to all-time highs in a hurry on the heels of a stunningly resurgent jobs market. The U.S. Labor Department’s monthly nonfarm payrolls showed that the economy created a seasonally adjusted 288,000 jobs in June, a figure so comically far above the 211,000 consensus expectation, it made the economists responsible for the lowball forecast look downright silly. Looking even sillier were shares [...]

These 3 Stocks Gave the Dow Jones its Biggest Gains in 2014
