Stocks end worst week mixed after wild session (AP)

A broker reacts at the stock market in Frankfurt, central Germany, Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008. European markets tumbled in early trading Wednesday amid ongoing fears about the state of the credit markets. (AP Photo/Michael Probst)AP - Wall Street capped its worst week ever with a wild session Friday that saw the Dow Jones industrials rocket within a 1,000 point range before closing with a relatively mild loss and the Nasdaq composite index actually end with a modest advance. Investors were still agonizing over frozen credit markets, but seven days of massive losses made many stocks tempting for traders looking for bargains.

posse
\PAH-see\
noun

a large group often with a common interest



a body of persons summoned by a sheriff to assist in preserving the public peace usually in an emergency



a group of people temporarily organized to make a search (as for a lost child)



one’s attendants or associates

Example Sentence
"On the Saturday morning we used to watch anxiously for the usual signs of activity and when we saw a large barrel of beer being escorted up the streets by a posse of small boys, we knew that all was well." (Edmund Barber, Country Life, October 12, 1951) "Posse" started out as a technical term in law, part of the term "posse comitatus," which in Medieval Latin meant "power or authority of the county." As such, it referred to a group of citizens summoned by a sheriff to preserve the public peace as allowed for by law. "Preserving the public peace" so often meant hunting down a supposed criminal that "posse" eventually came to mean any group organized to make a search or embark on a mission. In even broader use it can refer to any group, period. Sometimes nowadays that group is a gang or a rock band but it can as easily be any group -- of politicians, models, architects, tourists, children, or what have you -- acting in concert.

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
My debts are large, my failures great, my shame secret and heavy; yet when I come to ask for my good, I quake in fear lest my prayer be granted.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) Indian Author
