It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

Okay, U.S. stock markets up, European stock markets down, Asian stock markets down.  Bonds were up, Currencies down, Gold down.  U.S. stocks once again rose to record levels as Apple Inc. led a rally in technology shares and improving housing data lifted builders. European stocks fell for the first time in three days, while Treasuries gained.  The Nasdaq Composite Index finished above 4,000 for the first time since the year 2000.
