Economy and Stock Market: Huh? Biggest Weekly Gain Since 2003?

What? The market had the biggest weekly gain since 2003? Are you crazy? This is the end of the world....Well, uh, no....
But for the week, the Dow rose 4.8%, its first such gain since the meltdown of Lehman Brothers Holdings set off a global financial crisis in mid-September. The gain was also the Dow's biggest weekly rise in percentage terms since March 2003.
