Trying to keep pace with the Dow, the S&P 500 closed at its own all-time record Thursday ahead of the holiday-elongated weekend and the end of the quarter.
The S&P 500 closed at 1,569.19, above the record closing level of 1,565.15 which dates back to October 9, 2007.
The S&P 500 record carries more weight with many than the Dow record, set back in early March, as it represents a much broader-group of companies - 500 versus 30. Still, some skeptics will point to the ever-present quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve as the key driving factor of the rally.
The top 10 constituents in the S&P 500 by market cap are: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE: XOM), GE (NYSE: GE), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), IBM (NYSE: IBM), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), P&G (NYSE: PG) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE).
The top 10 year-to-date performers in the S&P 500 are: NetFlix Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) (103.1%), HP (NYSE: HPQ) (41.3%), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) (38.5%) , Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) (37.6%), Avon Products (NYSE: AVP) (+36.1%), H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) (+33.9%), Valero (NYSE: VLO) (+33.6%), Micron (NYSE: MU) (+32%), Safeway (NYSE: SWY) (+31.9%) and Celgene (NASDAQ: CELG) (+31.6%).
