On the final day of the quarter, all three major US indices are poised for their strongest performance since the second quarter of 2003, when the Dow [.DJIA  Loading...      ()   ], S&P 500 [.SPX  Loading...      ()   ] and NASDAQ Composite [COMP  Loading...      ()   ] were up 12% or higher for the quarter. 

Reinforcing the view that the worst of the credit crisis might be over, the S&P 500 index, an equity benchmark accounting for over 70% of the total market cap of all the stocks traded in the US, is up ~15% QTD and on pace for its strongest quarter since Q4 of 1998. 

Based on this morning's levels, the Dow, up ~11% QTD, is on track for its best quarter since Q4 of 2003 when it gained 12.71%, while the NASDAQ Composite, up ~20% QTD, is on track for its strongest quarter since Q2 of 2003 when it gained 20.99%.

Here is a look at some of the best and worst performers for the quarter and YTD, as of yesterday's close.
