NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rallied on Monday, with the Dow industrials closing at another record high, buoyed by optimism about the spending outlook at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT - News) and the belief that falling gasoline prices will help boost consumer spending.
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG - News) rallied to a new all-time high of $484.64, following the Web search company's quarterly profit report last week.
