Technology shares led stocks higher Friday, boosted by a jump in Apple after the tech giant delivered its best quarterly growth in two years. Friday's rise helped all three major U.S. indexes notch gains over a week in which investors faced a string of potentially market-moving announcements, from the House Republicans' plans for tax overhaul, to a Federal Reserve meeting to the October jobs report. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.7%, outpacing gains in the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, which were up 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively. Earlier this week, the Nasdaq closed at its 62nd record of the year, tying 1980 for the most closing highs in a calendar year.
