NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged lower on the final day of trading for 2023 in what has been a surprisingly strong year of gains on Wall Street.Yet the so-called Magnificent 7 companies — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms and Tesla — accounted for about two-thirds of the gains in the S&P 500 this year, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. Nvidia leads the group with a gain of about 240%. The S&P 500 index fell 0.3% Friday and is sitting just below the all-time high it set in January of 2022. It is up 24% for the year.The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 44 points, or less than 0.1%, to 37,665, a day after hitting another record. It is up more than 12% for the year.The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.5% as of 10:56 a.m. Eastern and is up 43% for the year thanks largely to the movement of those marquee companies.Every major index more than recovered their losses from a dismal 2022.

The oldest rivalry in the NFL doesn’t include a team from Green Bay.This matchup began in 1920 when two professional football teams called Illinois home. That’s when the Chicago Bears, then known as the Decatur Staleys, faced the Racine Cardinals — named after Racine Avenue where their home venue was Normal Park and not for the city in Wisconsin — for the first time.The Cardinals started in 1898 as the Morgan Athletic Club on Chicago’s South Side before becoming the Chicago Cardinals in 1922, then moved to Missouri to become the St. Louis Cardinals in 1960, and then to Arizona in 1988. Two winning seasons were capped by championships for the Cardinals in 1925 (though it is still controversial) and 1947. These remain the franchise’s only titles.The team’s color has a history too. The Cardinals first used borrowed maroon jerseys from the University of Chicago.The Bears hold the overall advantage in the series: 60-29-6 in regular-season games. ...Patriots’ Bill Belichick names five players to personal ‘All-Time team’
