    Large caps were virtually flat this week as small caps led with modest gains. The short week had mixed action but the greatest movement came Tuesday when the Turkish military shot down a Russian fighter jet over Syria. The S&P 500 opened down after the news but buyers shrugged it off before noon and the index was back to about where it started for the week and held close to that price for the remaining of the week.
