Wall Street is keeping up last week's momentum.. up more than 200 points today. That's due in part to a new agreement that will give Bear Stearns shareholders five times the payout than was outlined in a JPMorgan Chase buyout deal a week ago. So far today, Bear Stearns shares have nearly doubled in value. New York Bureau Chief Scott Gurvey will have analysis on today's announcement.

A stronger-than-expected housing report is adding to the upswing. The National Association of Realtors reported sales of previously-owned homes rose in February after falling six months in a row. At the same time, the trade group says median home prices fell by the largest amount on record.
