Monday's top headlines from the world of finance that investors need to know.

In this segment of The Motley Fool's financials-focused show, Where the Money Is, senior banking analyst Matt Koppenheffer talks about today's big headlines. First, up is the big news out of BlackBerry (BBRY +4.17%) and what that -- along with other big deal announcements -- means for the mergers and acquisitions market and M&A leaders like JPMorgan Chase (JPM 1.52%) and Goldman Sachs (GS +1.13%). Also on tap are more metals-warehousing scrutiny for the big banks and what looks like some IPO shenanigans.
