I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Historic Day on Wall Street: S&P Breaks 1600, Dow Touches 15000


























By: CNBC.com Writer
                

Stocks closed out the week with a bang, with the S&P 500 finishing above 1,600 and the Dow briefly topping 15,000 for the first time, as Wall Street cheered a better-than-expected April nonfarm payrolls report.

All three major indexes logged sharp gains for the week.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average shot up 142.38 points, or 0.96 percent, to close at 14,973.96, propelled by Caterpillar and Alcoa, earlier crossing above 15,000 for the first time. It took the blue-chip index nearly six years to cross 15,000 after it first topped 14,000.

The S&P 500 soared 16.83 points, or 1.05 percent, to finish at 1,614.42. And the Nasdaq rallied 38.01 points, or 1.14 percent, to end at 3,378.63. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, slumped below 13.

For the week, the Dow jumped 1.78 percent, the S&P 500 advanced 2.03 percent, and the Nasdaq surged 3.03 percent.
