Dow Goes Gunning for Top Weekly Spot

Dow Goes Gunning for Top Weekly Spot

If the markets closed right now -- with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq up 12.2%, 11.6% and 11.9% for the week –- the Dow would have nailed down the #7 spot all-time for weekly gains. And the higher spots? Five of the six were during the Depression. Matter of fact, only one other week in the historical top ten wasn’t during the Depression.
