NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell back from record levels on Wednesday as investors decided it was better to play it safe.

A day after the Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed above 1,900 for the first time, investors turned their backs on stocks that would benefit more than others in a reviving economy. Consumer discretionary stocks, a group that includes luxury retailers and entertainment companies, dropped the most. Industrial and technology companies also fell, and riskier, small-company stocks resumed a sell-off after rebounding on Monday.
