Dow, S&P And Nasdaq Score Biggest Point Gains Ever

CNN: Dow rallies 1,294 points, most in its history

US stocks rebounded sharply on Monday, with the Dow logging its biggest point gain in history.

Stocks are coming off their worst week since the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow (INDU) last week dropped 12.4%, while the S&P 500 (SPX) plunged 11.5%.

The Dow also recorded its worst one-day point drop in history on Thursday.

"If [the market is] priced to perfection and then something indicates that the perfection is a pipe dream, prices will come off," said Brad Cornell, emeritus professor of finance at UCLA, of last week's selloff. Prices are much more reasonable now, he added.
