Stock Market update -Aug 19th

Markets were like a see-saw this week, ending slightly higher, after a big rally on Friday from WMT and AAPL. Concerns linger over Turkey, and trade tariffs with China and others. Earnings season is pretty much over now.

The SPX is still trying to reach up to the all time highs made in Jan (the Nasdaq 100 and the small-caps (IWM) surpassed it a while back, thanks to the technology and small-cap stocks). Other indexes are still below though like the NYA and the DOW.
