"With eyes on Washington, investors reclaim ground" by Steven Syre and Beth Healy, Globe Staff | October 1, 2008
The stock market rebounded from one of its worst beatings in decades yesterday, surging higher across the board on hopes Congress will return to work and agree on a bailout plan for the nation's financial system soon.

FUCK YOU, MSM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stocks gained back more than half the ground they lost in Monday's dramatic sell-off. The Dow Jones industrial average soared 485.21 to 10,850.66, an advance of 4.7 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500 index, which suffered its biggest one-day percentage decline in 21 years on Monday, jumped 5.3 percent yesterday.
Credit markets were not so uniformly upbeat.

Stock prices overseas also recovered yesterday, but more modestly. Most major stock indexes in Europe climbed between 1 and 2 percent. Stocks in Brazil, which closed its market after steep losses on Monday, jumped 7.3 percent yesterday.
Boy, the MSM sure does have you hopping and dancing on the swings of the Dow, AmeriKa!! I SAID DANCE!!!!!!!
Doesn't it bother you that the DOW only represents the WEALTHIEST CORPORATIONS and NOT YOU, 'murkn?

What, after they went to so much trouble to CREATE the PROBLEM?
This ain't a FIX, buddy, it is a GIVEAWAY to the RICH!!!!
