You could actually be up if you owned these stocks

The most recent short-term high in the stock market was Aug. 17, when the S&P 500 (INDEX: .SPX) finished the day at 2,102-the last time it closed above 2,100.

At the top of the list of positive stocks are Cameron International (CAM (NYSE: CAM)) and AGL Resources (GAS (NYSE: GAS))-both jumping due to M&A activity. Lucky for those shareholders, they are the only two stocks up more than 20 percent in the last couple weeks.
