Stocks finished the day down slightly, with the S&P 500 posting a htree-day losing streak, as a brief rebound in tech stocks failed to float markets back to the green.
Snap in particular got a much needed boost, gaining more than 9% after Barclays said the stock was at a "turning point" and could reach $18. Still, Credit Suisse says the brief tech lull could be a great time to buy the sector.
