What happened

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street.

Why it matters

Stocks rose on Friday, putting the S & P 500 on pace for a record close thanks to a roughly 3.5% gain for the week.

Common ground

The Nasdaq Composite is still about 1.5% below its June 2 record close.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
