U.S. stocks tally a three-session gain of 7%

U.S. stocks on Monday climbed for a third session -- to chalk up a gain of a more than 7% during the longest winning run in weeks -- as relative calmness reigned and investors embraced Google Inc.’s $12.5 billion play for Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc.

“Clearly, just psychologically the market is exhausted after the two and a half weeks we’ve had, and today is more of a response to no calamity over the weekend,” said Jay Suskind, a senior vice president at Duncan-Williams Inc.
“The market took a step back and said, okay we’ve had this correction, let’s let cooler heads prevail,” Suskind added.
