NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Monday, with the Dow Jones industrial average ending on a 14-month high, as rosy news from big retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. bolstered investors' hopes that the economy and corporate profits are improving.

I have still taken a big hit on my stock portfolio, but slowly they are returning to a more stable level. We shall see where they are this October/November. That should tell the story. :)
