Scorecard for the major stock market indexes

Wall Street pulled off a big turnaround Thursday, rebounding from a steep early drop to finish modestly higher. Investors who began the day worrying about a revival of the banking crisis grew optimistic during the session that the government will again help the financial industry. The selloff, which followed news that Bank of America Corp. is asking for another government cash infusion, had the Dow Jones industrials down as much as 205 and headed for a seventh straight loss. But investors awaiting a Senate vote authorizing the second $350 billion from the government's financial bailout fund became more upbeat as the day wore on.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 12.35, or 0.15 percent, to 8,212.49.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.12, or 0.13 percent, to 843.74.

The Nasdaq composite index rose 22.20, or 1.49 percent, to 1,511.84.

For the week:

The Dow is down 386.69, or 4.50 percent.

The S&P is down 46.61, or 5.24 percent.

The Nasdaq is down 59.75, or 3.80 percent.

For the year:

The Dow is down 563.90, or 6.43 percent.

The S&P is down 59.51, or 6.59 percent.

The Nasdaq is down 65.19, or 4.13 percent.
