The Standard & Poor’s 500 closed above 1800 for the first time Friday, setting yet another record as stocks continue to surge.

The S&P 500 index closed at 1804.76 Friday, up 8.91 points or 0.5%.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which closed Thursday above 1600 for the first time, also gained, rising .34% to 16064.77.

Stocks rose, with the Dow Jones marking its longest weekly win streak in nearly three years, despite indications this week that the Fed would curb stimulus policies as early as December.
