Stocks finished firmly higher on Monday. The Dow surged 129 points to 17804. The S&P 500 gained 12 points to 2083 and the Nasdaq Composite added 36 points to 4837. The volume totals were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus Friday's totals inflated by options expirations. Advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 37 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 16 on the prior session. New 52-highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange.
