NEW YORK (AP) -- The stock market closed out May mostly higher Friday, sending two out of the three major U.S. indexes to record highs.

Stocks are closing mostly lower after setting a record high the day before.

Stocks are closing slightly higher trading as investors consider the latest news on corporate deals.

Wall Street has caught a case of the jitters.

The Dow Jones industrial average hit a record on Friday, but without much conviction after a choppy day of trading during which investors couldn't make up their minds whether to buy or sell.

Is Wall Street ready to "sell in May and go away?"

The stock market's laws of gravity are ravaging its highest fliers.

The average bonus paid to securities industry employees in New York City grew 15 percent last year to more than $164,000, the largest average Wall Street bonus since the 2008 financial crisis and the third highest on record, New York's state comptroller reported Wednesday.

U.S. stocks are ending broadly lower as investors assess corporate earnings reports, leaving the Standard & Poor's 500 index down slightly for the week.

There are fewer companies trading fewer shares today as compared to recent years. Some suggest that explains, at least in part, why markets have seen such big gains.
