Watching the Apple Watch

Apple (AAPL, Tech30), the most valuable company on the planet, is holding an event in San Francisco Monday afternoon where CEO Tim Cook is expected to reveal the last remaining details about the Apple Watch.

Wall Street will be watching the announcement closely, and trading in Apple shares could be more volatile than normal.

"Making it rain" in Europe

The European Central Bank is "making it rain" as it begins printing €60 billion per month to boost the regional economy and lift inflation.

The stimulus program is similar to the U.S. Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program, which helped lift America out of the Great Recession by pumping money into the economy.

Greek debacle continues

Eurozone finance ministers meet again Monday to discuss Greece's future.

The heavily indebted country has proposed a number of measures to ensure it continues to receive loan money from its European partners for the next few months, but the government's proposals have faced criticism for falling short of expectations.

Greece needs the European support in order to keep paying its bills and debts. Otherwise, it could be forced to print its own currency and quit the euro.
