Stocks have given up early gains, but the S&P 500 is still only about one percent away from its intraday high. In this narrow trading range, RDM Financial Group at HighTower Managing Director Ron Weiner tells CNBC's "Power Lunch" on Thursday investors have to be patient.

Alibaba is higher during trading, but is down 2 percent year-to-date.
