U.S. stocks reverse gains in late trade – MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) – U.S. stocks reversed early gains and finished Friday lower but still recorded modest weekly gains. The main indexes marched higher in the morning, with the S&P 500 hitting a new intraday record of 1,883.97, but gains dissipated by afternoon, as stocks were hit by gyrations due to the so-called quadruple witching day, or expiration of options. The S&P 500
