Stocks Soar On Relief Rally; Dow Remains More Than 1000 Points Off Highs

As if last week was nothing more than an annoyance, buyers emerged in droves on Tuesday, sending stocks on a skyrocket ride throughout the session.

The relief rally left stocks still well down from previous levels, however, with the Dow more than 1000 points lower than it was earlier in the month.

Current conditions in the market suggest a wait-and-see posture.
