Last week, the markets reacted strongly to the Federal Reserve's announcement of a third round of quantitative easing. This week Marek explains what that means and if it's worth anything. Plus, oil prices continue to shoot up with the fighting in the Middle East, and Morgan Stanley trumpets health care stocks, which are usually stable and recession proof.

However, the first few days of this week will probably be pretty quiet because of Rosh Hashanah, with trading expecting to pick back up on Wednesday.
