NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks were flat in early trading Thursday, a sign that traders may be pausing after the market's longest rally since July.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up less than a point to 15,326 in the first 15 minutes of trading.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index was down two points, or 0.1 percent, to 1,687. The S&P has risen for the past seven days. The Nasdaq composite, which was down sharply Wednesday due to a big sell-off in Apple, fell four points, or 0.1 percent, to 3,721.
