Best and Worst of the 3-Day Rally

The S&P 500 has rallied 2.89% since the close last Thursday, and below we highlight the 20 best and 20 worst performing stocks in the Russell 1,000 over that time frame.  As shown, the 8 best performing stocks were down significantly on the year leading up to Thursday's close.  ABK is up the most since Thursday at 32%.  Leading up to that point, it was down 64% on the year.  GYI ranks second behind ABK at 31.5%, followed by RSH, MBI, MTG and THC. 

On the downside, ESI, FWLT, FRE and GOOG have performed the worst during this 3-day rally.  One of the worst feelings for an investor is for his or her stocks to go down when everything else is going up.  You can bet that owners of stocks on the worst performer list below have been feeling that pain this week.
