Stocks were up!  That gave the S&P 500 its longest winning streak since January, as better-than-estimated manufacturing data and Citigroup Inc. earnings overshadowed disappointing retail sales.

 

The Dow Jones and S&P 500 actually set new record highs, even though it didn’t really feel like a record kind of day.
