Thus, after a solid gain for stocks this past Monday and back-to-back setbacks on Tuesday and Wednesday, the market started to the upside yesterday on apparent bargain hunting following the two consecutive selloffs. In fact, by mid-morning, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had soared to a 534-point gain, placing that index back above 21,400.
