Stocks were little changed on Wednesday, as Wall Street caught its breath a day after the Dow hit an all-time high and the S&P 500 closed above 2,000 for the first time.The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed unofficially 15 points higher, the S&P 500, which closed at a record high above 2,000 on Tuesday, rose marginally and the Nasdaq lost 1 point."These record highs you're seeing are backed by good earnings, and not from companies cutting costs, but true earnings from sales and operations.
