Stock Market Rose, But Many Stocks Fell to Yearly Lows

The Nasdaq Composite stock index gained 122.48 points on Oct. 6, 2026, MarketWatch reported. But only 61 stocks hit a yearly high while 182 hit a yearly low — their cheapest price in 12 months — per Reuters. My take: it's like a team winning while most players struggle, which can hide weakness for ordinary savers in index funds.
