The S&P 500 lost 7 points to 2165 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 16 points to 5073. The benchmark S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both remain perched at record highs. Big gains for the major indices were noted in prior commentaries and that bullish action signaled a new "confirmed uptrend" for the market (M criteria).  Volume totals were slightly higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 9-5 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 43 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 58 on the prior session.
