By Stephanie Landsman, CNBC Big tech has been driving the bull market, and one closely watched strategist argues it's creating an anomaly — one that could change investing strategies. DataTrek Research's Nick Colas sees an atypical trend affecting the relationship between small cap stocks and large caps. He's calling it "one of the Achilles heels of indexing." According to Colas,...
With a little extra help from Apple (AAPL), stocks finished an otherwise-choppy week with a strong Friday push to record highs. More telling is how for the first time in a long time, we're starting to see some real volume behind the bullish advance, suggesting it's got the help of the undertow. On the flipside, we're back to a potential...
