All of it combined to send stocks higher. The dow, what we have seen since march 1, definitely has not been all sideways since then because the dow had a drop to midapril before trying to recover and reacting the record several times before finally perhaps making it today before the end of the session. The three major averages, a chart that looks at them since the election. Returns we have seen, the dow has consistently been the laggards into 2017.
