Gainers in technology stocks, retailers and energy companies outweighed losses in industrial firms and elsewhere in the market.

The S&P 500 held steady, finishing flat to unchanged. Investors had several headlines to work through, including criminal convictions of 2 former advisers to President Trump and the resumption of trade talks between the US and China.

The other major US averages

DJIA slid 0.3%, and the NAS Comp climbed 0.4%, marking its 5th straight advance, and the small-cap Russell 2000 ticked up 0.3%, closing at a new record high for the 2nd day running.

Tuesday, the S&P 500 index posted an all-time high intra-day. This Bull market began on 9 March 2009, is the longest on record surpassing the Run of the 1990’s.

While it is the longest on record, it lags others on the basis of magnitude, or the cumulative gain it has generated for investors.

As of Tuesday, the S&P 500 had climbed 323% over the current Bull market. By comparison, the Bull market that ran through much of the 1990’s and ended in March 2000 led to a 417% gainer for the S&P 500, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

While this Bull run is long, it could still go on longer because, magnitude-wise, it has room to run longer.
