The bell is bringing an end to the trading day at the NYC, Charles Schwab, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, and the SIFMA Foundation, all celebrating National Investing Day and at the Nazak Gold House doing the honors. Welcome to closing bell overtime. Lash in studio be at the NASAC market site. I'm Melissa Lee. Mike Santoli will be joining us from Omaha in just a moment. stocks mostly higher today today, the doubt with a small loss, but the

S&P up a quarter of a percent to a record close, and the NASDAQ, the best of the bunch,

up nearly 1 percent, also a record close. Appla leader following its earnings, Intel continuing

its run. It's doubled in the past month. Oracle and Salesforce also with nice games. That is

Atlassian and Twilio, each up more than 20% following their results.

And Viva Systems, which makes software to help drug companies manage clinical trials,

something like that so clearly that's been the story um the rest of the market has at least stayed

out of the way i would argue and if anything uh the consumer stuff is maybe firmed up just slightly

because yesterday's economic data or at least okay yeah Yeah, even in spite of $4.30

cents gasoline right now, highs not seen in years. But what was so optimistic about the action
