Stocks were mixed approaching the midday point for trading on Tuesday. Once again, both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at record highs on Monday, as the buyers continued to hold serve. As we approach the long Labor Day holiday weekend, which typically marks the end of the slower summer trading time as traders return from vacations, investors can expect a return to more normal trading volumes next week. Meanwhile, all eyes across Wall Street are focused on the August jobs report, which will be released Friday morning. Analysts predict anywhere from 609,000 to 750,000 jobs will be added.
