The Market

Set to re-structure? Sears 3Q16  loss wider than expected. Link here. Probably not hiring.

Costco profit tops estimates. 

After a huge run-up yesterday, the market is (barely) holding on to its gains, up about 20 points.

NYSE:

• new highs: 339 -- again, a huge number, including BK, BRK-B, Caterpillar, MDU, Newfield, UNP, 
• new lows: 6 -- wow. What can I say. Only 6.
