Stocks were mixed Monday as the S&P 500 fell 0.2% and the NASDAQ gained 0.3% on the back of a big gain by Apple (AAPL). The indexes gapped down to begin the day and after churning most of the session saw a late day buying spree. This continues the change in pattern seen over the past week when stocks often gapped up, and faded at the close. Considering the magnitude of gains last week, Monday's session was a win for the bulls.
