MEOW! THUD! BOING!

Dead Cat Bounce SUPREEEEEEEEEEEME!

U.S. stocks jumped the most in six years as growing expectations that lawmakers will salvage a $700 billion bank-rescue package helped the Standard & Poor's 500 Index recover more than half of yesterday's 8.8 percent plunge.

JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. climbed more than 13 percent as Senate leaders vowed to resume work on the bailout plan this week after its rejection spurred the market's steepest decline in two decades. Hess Corp. and Schlumberger Ltd. added more than 5.8 percent as optimism about the plan helped oil rebound from a $10-a-barrel drop. All 10 industries in the S&P 500 advanced at least 1.3 percent.

``There is some renewed hope that Congress will come back and try to get the amended plan through,'' Robert Doll, who oversees $1.3 trillion as chief investment officer of global equities at BlackRock Inc. in Plainsboro, New Jersey, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. ``We have to restore confidence, we have to reduce fear, we have to get banks to lend money.''

The S&P 500 rose 58.34 points, or 5.3 percent, to 1,164.73, its biggest advance since July 2002. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 485.21, or 4.7 percent, to 10,850.66 and earlier gained more than 500 points. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 5 percent to 2,082.33. More than four stocks climbed for each that fell on the New York Stock Exchange.

So, we won, right?

It's over?

Still, no.
