The S&P 500 clinched a new record high even with a number of factors trying to pull it into the red. Disappointing earnings reports from the likes of Starbucks (SBUX) and Pandora (P) failed to stop its rise.

Canaccord reiterated a BUY rating and hiked its price target. Apple's (AAPL) sales were under the microscope ahead of its earnings report next Tuesday.
