Tom, thanks. Welcome to closing bell. I'm Scott Wapner live from Post 9 here at the New York Stock Exchange.

This make-a-breakout begins with stocks on the March, more records falling, and investors asking a very simple question. How long can it last?

We'll ask our experts over this final stretch. Let's show you the scorecard with 60 to go in regulation.

Neither the government shutdown nor the lack of a jobs report, doing much to disrupt the major averages today.

into Monday.

Now, we're watching to see if any Democrats are going to join with Republicans.

We're seeing the same three that we've seen previously, which suggests that Democrats are holding firm,
