After New Highs, Stocks Still Strong: Pros

Following record intraday levels in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 on Tuesday, the "Fast Money" pros said that there's still upside potential in the market.

"I would say that the most constructive thing I can point to over the last week is the fact that health care, utilities and consumer goods are the laggards," Josh Brown of Fusion Analytics said. "This is absolutely what you want to see, even if the averages have put in their highs for the year. There's still a lot of room for this beneath-the-surface rotation."

Brown said that it was a stock-picker's market.

"Half the market hasn't done what the major averages have done, so this is actually a really good time to be a little bit selective, but you can still find things to buy, despite the fact that we're at new highs in the tape," he added.

TheStreet CIO Stephanie Link sounded a positive note on stocks.

"The general direction is higher," she said.

Simon Baker of Baker Avenue Asset Management noted the performance in small-cap stocks.

"I'm encouraged by the Russell 2000 hitting a new high, 'cause, I mean, it's a much better representation of a broad move in the market," he said.

The Russell 2000 Index briefly hit a high $964.90 midday before retreating slightly.

Rosecliff Capital's Mike Murphy said that the signs were clear.

"You don't want to fight the market here. The tape's telling that the market wants to go higher," he added.

"I believe this market has a long way to go. Will we have pauses? Sure. Will we have slight pullbacks? Of course. But if you look at the direction of the market, and that's supported by really so many different sectors, I think you can see the market going a lot higher from these levels."
