The S&P 500 barely moved, the NASDAQ took a small tumble, and the Dow Jones tiptoed upwards. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 decided to show off with a more substantial gain.

Today’s market was as exciting as watching paint dry. The S&P 500 inched up by a whopping 0.05%, making it clear that it has all the energy of a sloth on a lazy Sunday. The NASDAQ, feeling rebellious, slipped down by 0.22%, perhaps in protest of tech’s overhyped valuations finally catching up with reality. On the other hand, the Dow Jones managed to eke out a 0.1% increase, possibly fueled by investors who accidentally hit ‘buy’ instead of ‘sell’. The real party animal was the Russell 2000 with its 1.18% rise, proving that small caps are still trying to prove they matter.

Ah, Apple — today’s big loser, shedding 2.27% of its value. It seems even tech giants aren’t immune to gravity when everyone realizes they might have bitten off more than they can chew (pun intended). Perhaps Tim Cook should consider adding wings to their next iPhone model to prevent such free falls in stock price. But hey, at least they’re consistent in delivering innovative ways to lose money for their investors.
