Stocks have been trading higher after Treasury Secretary Geithner unveiled a plan to remove toxic assets from financial institutions using money from the $700 Billion TARP fund. The government will mitigate the risk by offering private investors billions of dollars in low-interest loans to finance the purchases.

On Monday, the housing market received good news when the Existing Home Sales came in stronger than expected. And, the US Dollar received a boost when China said it will continue to purchase US Treasuries, despite saying last week they were concerned about the value of those Treasuries.
