LOS ANGELES — It’s summertime and the stock market is sizzling.
The market reached an all-time high last week, torching its previous record set just before Memorial Day.
Even so, a handful of companies stand out. Six stocks — Amazon, Starbucks, UnitedHealth, Visa, Mastercard and Discover Financial — notched their own records last week, helped by the growing confidence of American consumers.
Would buying these stocks now be a hot-weather impulse or a coldly calculated move?
