Stocks continue to pare their losses. The latest leg of the effort has taken stocks to fresh session highs. The Nasdaq's climb has been steeper than that of the Dow. As such, the Nasdaq's current loss is about one-quarter of what it had traded with at its session low, whereas the Dow's current loss is only a about half of what it was at its session low. The Nasdaq's relative strength stems from the likes of Apple (AAPL 376.87, +2.82) and Amazon.com (AMZN 214.40, +4.40).
