U.S. stocks slipped from records as traders sold shares that rose the most in 2014 and scrutinized growth prospects after a three-year advance that added $9.4 trillion to equity values.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index slid 1.5 percent to 2,058.20 in the holiday-shortened week as it climbed 11 percent in 2014. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which rose 7.5 percent last year, lost 220.72 points, or 1.2 percent, to 17,832.99. About 5 billion shares changed hands each day, 16 percent below the daily average in 2014.
