NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks fell from their record heights on Friday after a report showed hiring was a touch weaker than expected last month.

Employers added 145,000 jobs across the country in December, short of the 160,000 that economists forecast.

Coming off two weeks of losses, stocks traded in a narrow range.

87. Investors expect higher stocks in 2015, but also turbulence - Friday, December 19, 2014

NEW YORK (AP) — Can the U.S. hold everyone else above water? That is the question investors are asking as Wall Street heads into 2015.

A strong U.S. economy helped propel the stock market higher in 2014, continuing a bull market that is on pace to celebrate its sixth birthday in March.

That's allowed businesses and consumers to refinance their debt at lower rates, freeing up cash to spend.
