The Senate passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling and tighten government spending late Thursday, and the measure now goes to President Joe Biden for signing. The three major averages jumped Friday, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite notched a weekly gain of just over 2%. Still, some names are looking a little too hot.
