like a credit. if a refiner can't meet the ethanol target it can purchase the rin as the requirement purchases above the 10% mark blending hit the wall and price of credits or the runs are hitting through the roof. what does it all mean? john kingston, global director of news at plats. this is what confused me about the article in the "wall street journal" but we've talked about this, but if you're producing ethanol already, why do you also get the credit and how us did it work? >> the surplus was a credit banked to serve future needs. that ethanol bank is rapidly drawn down as the renewable fuel standard rises, amount of gasoline consumed in the country drops and you mentioned the wall, the wall in this country is 10%. that is generally amount considered safe for automobiles. the ethanol industry, renewable fuels association would disagree, almost everybody looking at

dispassionate point of view, sees there is 10% blend wall. with decline in gasoline consumption, rise in renewable fuel standards you're starting to push against that the activity in the rins market is frenetic last couple weeks is get everybody ready for next year. melissa: i have a bunch of questions you said. i don't have to have as much ethanol as it says it does if i have the credits? >> you can blend 8% credits. melissa: is that say at pump. >> it says 10% ethanol. melissa: it may not. >> contains ethanol and a lot of rins. is might contain ethanol. no reason not to. a question of companies and operations and what kind of balance they have. it will vary from company to company. i was speaking to a person, some companies are up against the limits and others have fair amount of room. melissa: you can purchase these things on the market instead of putting more ethanol in. one reasons why refiners

don't want to sell ethanol in it, there are bunch reasons. people don't like gas with more than 10% ethanol. there is big pushback. even aaa said it is not safe to put ethanol than greater than 10% if your car that not flex-fuel vehicle. >> aaa is very clear. however it is a little murky --. melissa: you but government is still mandating? >> the government doesn't mandate 10%. that is the problem the government mandates a flat number. the number is rising consistently. melissa: as our demand for fuel drops the number is staying the same some abouting larger than 10% by default. >> that is the run crunch point. if the government were to say, okay we'll take last year's gasoline consumption and renewable fuel standard for following year is 10% you really wouldn't have this problem. where this, this is all sound very difficulty and obscure where this could result in some impact on consumers it will hit in imports. u.s. is net product exporter but some part of the country still a significant importer

of gasoline. if you're an exporter of gasoline year-over-year you look at your economics. your economics now, i'm going to send gasoline over to the u.s. but i too have to meet the renewable standard. now i have to buy rins at whatever price. that price may destroy the margin of sending the shipment over. that is number one. number two, if you're a u.s. producer and the economics are not food you might decide to export it rather than use it here. this sounds all very up in the clouds and, inside baseball but this is where it could start to affect supplies. melissa: from here, how much of an impact could it have on the price for consumers? >> i don't know where. last week's an executive from marathon said it added ten cents a gallon i don't agree with. melissa: too high. >> i think so. i don't know when it will start to impact. i don't know that it is linear. there is actually a final rule for 2013 renewable fuel standard has not been finalized. i wonder if the epa is listening to all this, thinking you know what?

maybe we should bring it down a little bit. melissa: right. >> there could be relief on that. this all happened in the last few weeks. melissa: yeah. >> so it's a, funny happened in the last few weeks but everybody knew it was going to happen some day. it was a question of when. melissa: question when we got to the point when demand is falling so much and things pop up. all of sudden you have the price and this is a bizarre situation where the government getting involved in the market trying to gerry rig it one way or the other eventually has unintended consequences. >> they assumed gasoline consumption in the 2007, the gasoline consumption in the u.s. would rise ad infinitum. that has not happened. we're down significantly. nobody forecast this. but the rule making or rules have not really reacted to that. the epa will have a chance this year when they finalize the 2013 rules, to lower it and say, you know what we are losing less gasoline. melissa: a complicated issue. you made it understandable for us. we appreciate it. >> okay. lori: this news alert. the race for the presidency

lori: morgan stanley in talks to make an addition to its executive management team. fox business senior correspondent charlie gasparino joins us with exclusive details on the telephone. hey, charlie. >> hey, guys. we should point out there is no word yet from morgan stanley on anytiming or whether the talks somehow broke off. i don't think that is going to happen, to bring in gary kaminsky, former top money manager at neuberger berman. most recently i guess the capital markets editor of to be specific of cnbc. no word when that will be announced. we understand they are in the middle of finalizing the deal if it breaks off, it breaks off because they couldn't agree on dotting this and crossing the ts. in all luckily hood gary will join morgan stanley tomorrow as vice chairman of its brokerage department. there is lot of interesting aspects to this story. let's break it down what is the most important. the most important thing for morgan stanley and people who own the stock is this.

james kborm man has a plan basically to make morgan stanley the most profitable and best-run brokerage firm in the country. they have roughly 18,000 brokers. the largest brokerage firm. they want to do that through sort of synergies with other parts of the firm. that is where gary will come in. he will try to make the investment bankers work with the brokers. for example, or the brokers work with the investment bankers. brokers especially at morgan stanley deal with high net worth indivduals, people that own small companies. they want to keep the deal flow from those companies inside morgan stanley rather than send it out to earth firms. that is part what he is going to be doing. clearly it's a big job. you can clearly say that if this thing does happen, this one of the biggest jobs on wall street and maybe one of the most important and here's why. you know, we deal with small investors. morgan stanley deals with more small investors than anybody on wall street with that brokerage division. gary will be reporting right

to craig fleming who runs it and he will be a key part of that management. this is a pretty big deal if it happens. i'm only qualifying, listen, i've been covering deals and deal-makers all the time. you know there are last-minute things that blow things up. if i was betting man i would say, this is not going to blow up but you never know. lori: and, charlie? >> yes. lori: speaking of big name dropping there is talk here warren buffett may have had something to do with all of this. >> i don't think so. i mean, i don't think you leave a big, a job like at cnbc and take a job at morgan stanley because of warren buffett. as you know, warren buffett disagreed vehemently with something gary kaminsky said on the air. i think gary was more right than wrong. cnbc issued an apology essentially for it. it had to do with whether buffett and berkshire buy back stock. when gary said is that, warren buffett is somewhat hypocritical. he was talking about it is great, how jpmorgan was doing a stock buyback or another firm, that buffett

made the comment on cnbc. gary said that was somewhat hypocritical, buffett never, nevers buys back stocks. baloney, i bought back stocks once 20 years ago. you get the point. lori: absolutely. >> cnbc came in and issued an apology and i think there were obviously hard feelings there. i don't think that's the reason why he took this job. this is a damn good job if it works out for him. lori: i'd say. thanks for details on it. charlie gasparino. melissa: as we do ever 15 minutes, and check the markets. nicole at the new york stock exchange. you're watching major movers. >> yes indeed i am. blackberry. don't call it research in motion. that is old news. it continues to gain throughout the day. tomorrow is the finally the day you can order the new z10, the blackberry z ten everybody was eagerly

awaiting the products. you can go in the store on march 22nd and make the purchase. what is announced on january 30th is finally coming to fruition and get in there to buy this thing. everybody waited a year and a half for this one at least. obviously big news for blackberry. as a result we're seeing the stock get an incredible pop on this launch news. dick's sporting goods, this is different picture. down arrows, under incredible pressure for dick's sporting goods. they came with profits completely under analyst estimates. they misjudged cold winter weather. that was mild and didn't make sales they anticipated. the stock is down over $5. as i noted a 10% drop much back to you. lori: don't count out blackberry just yet. that's for sure. nicole, thanks. workers all over america facing a daily wave of afternoon fatigue. employers are fighting back with nap time. melissa: i love it. lori: is this nursery school or corporate america?

brokerage unit. this is being planned on according to a source we'll have more 3:00 p.m. eastern hour on "countdown to the closing bell". tracy: gary wendt from neuberger berman to cnbc. back to the business where the money is. ashley: i guess so. tracy: speaking of money, it keeps flowing into exchange traded fund that track the s&p 500. will this market momentum push the benchmark index to a record high? sandy smith with today's trade. hey, sandy. >> talk about the dow record but talk about the s&p 500? this is broader gauge with the stock market. s&p is flirting with highs of the session at 1554. let me quickly remind you where the record high is. 11 points from where it is now hit in october of 2007. 1565 is the closing high to keep in mind there flip the screen. you will see the intraday high to watch is just above there at 15, sorry, 157 of. that is another number to watch -- 1576. we flirt with all-time highs

on the session. as you look at s&p 500 year-to-date it is underperforming the dow, 9% this year while the dow is up 10%. when you look at investor interest, this is why market analysts are pouring in to say the retail investor could push this over the record edge, simply because they haven't been participating in the rally. they're measuring this. this is a case in point, index universe. they're saying $1.8 billion of retail investor funds have been pouring into the etf. so far in the month of march, only six trading days so far this month. you're talking about a lot of money. s&p etf, tracking the s&p 500. that is where investors are flocking to. other s&p etfs to watch, ivv and vvo. guess what, tracy and ashley? the stocks leading s&p 500 rally is netflix, up 95%. best buy up 70%. some consumer names and h&r block and technology companies, hewlett-packard,

micron technology, celgene, a health care company and also dell. those are the biggest winners so far on the s&p. while the dow is flirting with records, keep in mind we're getting close with the s&p as well. ashley: yes we are. best buy, don't get it. i don't have a good time in there i don't. sandra, thank you very much. our first guest is not concerned about record highs on the market. he says stocks will end this-year higher than where they are now. jeff saut, raymond james chief investment joins us. jeff, thank you. the last time you were on the program was just prior to the state of the union address, beginning or mid-february. you expected a five to 7% correction. we really haven't seen that. do you still think we're set for a correction? do we just keep moving higher? >> oh, historically that's what you get this far into a buying stampede. i thought the state of the union wrong feetedly by the way would be a catalyst to give you a five to 7% pull back. it was just plain wrong. the buying stampede

continues. dow theory buy signal confirmation when the dow jones industrial average sprinted out to new all-time highs thus confirming what happened with the transportation average in january. the buying power index is getting ready to cross above the selling pressure index. that indicates stocks will be higher a few months from now. all of that said, you are subject to some kind of pullback at any time but i continue to think as i did back then that pullbacks are for buying. tracy: sandra smith just reported there is money going into the s&p 500 etfs, which is a good thing. a lot of people worrying that the average retailer is missing this run. so if that's the case then, shouldn't the advice just be get in and who cares when you do? >> well, i think you have to be selective on a stock by stock basis unless you are playing the indexes. we just had last week the raymond james 34th annual institutional conference with nearly 800 portfolio managers and over00 companies presenting and--

300 companies presenting. it is not just retail investors not keeping up with the dow joneses. the institutional crowd has been too cautious for the most part. they're sitting on too much cash and they're underperforming. your report is exactly right. you could have the tide break here and see a lot more money come piling in on the upside. ashley: at some point it gets too expensive and we're reasonably prices some would argue and some would say not, we have more to go, do you have to wait until we see the correction and buy on the dip because these stocks may become overbought? >> i told people a few weeks ago if we're not getting some kind of pullback, what you do you decide how much money you want to commit to equities, say it is $100,000, then you break that into four tranches of $25,000 apiece and commit the first tranche of $25,000 2 1/2 weeks ago. then you set a point in time, be it two weeks forward or a month forward where you will commit another $25,000

tranche whether we're up or down or so forth. according to dow theory and according to the money flow indicators, this bull has a lot farther to run. tracy: old dollar-cost averaginging, right? buy on the dips. transport seems to be where you're focusing your attention these days. kansas city southern, american railcar industries. this is play on the economy as well, isn't it? >> yeah. they're economic sensitive. transports actually percentage wise outperformed the dow year-to-date. kansas city southern, which has a, good rating from our fundamental analyst here at raymond james, we have been in it for about seven or eight months now and we think it's a play on mexico. the mexican median wage in the next couple years is going to be below that of china. and so mexico, the theme is, that mexico's going to be the new china for the u.s. and kansas city southern has the fairway or rail beds up from mexico into the heartland. ashley: interesting. very good stuff. jeff saut, jeff, thank you

so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> it's a pleasure. ashley: mexico is the new china. basically because labor costs are actually less in mexico than they are in china and a lot closer. >> right. hope he is right. coming up, president obama harshly criticized congressman paul ryan's last budget. so how are he and other democrats going to respond to the new one out this week? congressman scott garrett and peter welch will debate that next. ashley: google glass not even on sale to the public yet but one business owner is already panning them. we'll tell you why next. first time to check how oil is trading at the beginning of the trading week. we're seeing oil slightly lower at $91.61 a barrel. we'll be right back. it's monday.

chipolte, a tasty stock that may have some vegetaria vegetarian-friendly options. charles, what is this? >> the stock is under some pressure, guys. tofu to the rescue. tracy: no. >> a little worried because i got to tell you something, tofu has this, this reputation of being good for you, it is starting, people starting to say it is not really good for you anymore, at least the processed version, the american version. when you process you get rid of anti-nutrients. they say you create toxic carcinogen from high pressure. problems would be thyroid, weight gain, lethargy. hair loss. premature puberty. cancer brain damage. the guy they hooked up with chipolte mexican grill he is no joke. tracy: he is really awesome. ashley: not having any tofu? >> he makes artesian tofu. what happened was he came here with his family from the vietnamese boat lift.

he came here. he was a money manager. all this tofu, it is unrecognizeable and unpalatable to most asians. ashley: i've been saying that for years. i'm not asian. >> have you really? ashley: yeah. >> this guy is super star. written three books on this. and maybe it starting to listen. starting in the san francisco area. this is smart place to start. will it save the stock? they have missed last two earnings reports. the stock is off 100 points from the high. i would not jump in. i would like to see them with a pretty good earnings report and sort of suggest they righted ship a little bit. one of these stocks ultimately you get back in. ashley: growth growth policy, don't they? triple number of stores. more than any restaurant they're trying to grow. >> i think they should. one thing that they doohave, remember what big-time short, one of these guys who always shorts and masters of the universe shorted it and said taco bell was taking clients from them. i have customers, i don't even consider them in the same realm as taco bell.

but i do think it was part of the economy and part of growing pangs and hiccups that come along with it. i'm not going back into chipolte mexican grill yet. i like this idea. the guy is amazing. not sure tofu will be answer to their woes but we'll see. ashley: all right. tracy: on my cracker barrel list of places i have never been. it might stay there. >> you haven't been to cracker barrel? tracy: cracker barrel, nor chipolte. >> one across the street though. tracy: yeah. they don't let us out. ashley: doesn't go to the gap either. thank you, charles. appreciate it. >> all right. ashley: story about google glasses. probably won't be available until next year, these glasses. there is lot of buzz about them but one seattle bar already banned them. the 5 point, which is known to be a seedy place according to its owner, won't serve anyone wearing the $1500 glasses. owner says, people who come in his bar don't want to be

known and definitely don't want to be secretly filmed and put on internet. on the bar's facebook page he is warning in not such nice language a kick in the pants would be encouraged for any violate, to. he admits, maybe part of a joke to have this reaction but he is also serious because he says the bar is a private place. that could be the issue for some of these people who walk in with these glasses. people don't want to be seen. don't want those people in the bar. tracy: i'm on the bar owner's side on that one. what happens in the bar stays in the bar. ashley: now if you're wearing google glass. >> there is that. quarter past the hour. time to go back to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. dow is up 42 points. we'll take it. >> that's right, another winning day on wall street. tack in the nasdaq composite which is fractionly in the green. i hear you, nobody wants to be filmed without having to sign a release. look at urban outfitters. talking about a very popular retailer. reporting quarterly numbers after the bell.

up one quarter of 1%. year-to-date urban outfitters up 5%. under their umbrella also, includes anthropology, free people, among other names. but do you have some analysts talking very postively in these last two weeks about urban outfitters. higher today. back to you. tracy: thank you, nicole. we'll see you in 15 minutes. as she mentioned stay tuned for fox business for complete coverage of urban outfitters earnings after the bell, 4:00 p.m. eastern today. coming up the gop's new budget plan, does it have any chance of passing congress? congressman scott garrett and peter welch will debate that next. ashley: first, how is the dollar moving as we kick off a new week? oil is moving lower. the dollar it is weaker and down against a lot of currencies, including the euro, pound, looney, mexican peso, go figure, yen, weaker against the dollar. we'll be right back.

>> 20 minutes past the hour. i'm jamie colby. this is your fox news minute. there have been a flurry of earthquakes rattling southern california within moments of each other. originally when they struck shortly before 10:00 a.m. local time they were measured magnitudes above 5.0. now they have been

downgraded by seismologists. the u.s. geological survey web site now says they were smaller ranging in magnitudes from 4.7 to 2.7. former detroit qwami kilpatrick convicted today of federal raketeering and other charges. prosecutors accusing kilpatrick, his father and city contractor of widespread corruption, extorting bribes from contractors, who wanted to keep their city contracts. those are the news headlines at this hour on the fox business network. i'm jamie colby. i will send it back to ashley and tracy. ashley: jamie, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> sure. ashley: congressman paul ryan revamping his budget plan that drew heavy criticism from president obama last year. the new ryan budget calls for more spending cuts than the last plan, and yes, it would balance the budget much sooner. rich edson in d.c. with the latest on the ryan budget. rich. >> we can expect even more criticism from democrats this time around. budgets like this are opening negotiating positions.

republicans stake out theirs tomorrow when chairman paul ryan will and democrats will do so later this week, first time in four years. ryan's budget features no tax increases and offers a way forward on overhauling the tax code. ryan's plan balances the budget at some point in ten years. aids say medicare will be converted for premium support system or voucher system say democrats and he repeals the president's health care law. while republicans want to get rid of obamacare, it is likely impossible this congress. >> the level of spending and revenue of taxation that's embodied in this document really is more important and more of a reflex what republicans are all about than frankly repeal of obamacare and some very sharp cuts to medicare and medicaid. >> democrats branded ryan's budget dangerous, saying it features deep cuts for the poor and he will terry --

elderly while protecting the wealthy. on wednesday, chairman patty murray releases her budget. it will likely protect far more government spending than ryan's plan and include tax increases on wealthier taxpayers. back to you. ashley: trying to find common ground. rich edson, appreciate it. >> let's talk more about this. more expectation around the house republican proposal. we're joined by republican congressman scott garrett of new jersey, democratic congressman peter welch of vermont. congressman welch i will start with you, first, already everyone is saying this is going nowhere fast. paul ryan wants to repeal obamacare. republicans tried this somewhat 35 times to repeal this. is this going anywhere? >> no. and i hope he knows that. it is really a dead end. this was a decision of the election. so doubling down on another 35 times of repealing obamacare just gets us going nowhere. bottom line, there is an opportunity here if the republicans acknowledge that

president obama won. the common goal is to get sustainable spending. there is ways to do it. one, clean up totally outrageous tax code. 1.2 trillion in spending in the form of giveways, often times to special interests. we ought to eliminate that. or rein it in. and then secondly. there are things we can do to reform health care. have prescription drug price negotiation that would save medicare and taxpayers $160 billion which would be a substantial savings. that's through just having price negotiation like we have from the va and we have in medicaid and like a lot of companies have when they have an employee-based plan. tracy: representative garrett, i have to say, this is the most middle ground i've heard from a democrat in a really long time. how come we can't come to the table? because from my understanding, patty murray will release her budget on wednesday. increasing taxes on the wealthy yet again. and of course no entitlement talk whatsoever. >> so, yes, in washington with politicians it is

always easy to criticize and hard to actually come to the table with an actual plan. tracy: right. >> for that reason we haven't seen anything from the senate democrats in over four years. we haven't seen anything from the president since he has been in office that actually passes with his fellow democrats. so would be great if they actually finally put something on the table. i wonder whether because we passed no budget, no pay bill, they realize they don't so something they don't get paid over there if they many come to the table maybe we find the common ground. i tell you this we're already receiving revenue in country at higher levels basically anytime in history. we're seeing tax rates near the top ever. so to say we need to put an added extra burden on the economy of higher taxes on this economy, not quite sure that is the direction to go in. tracy: many will agree with representative garrett on that, congressman welch, because, we all feel like our paychecks are cut in half based on what is happening lately. but i think we all agree there needs to be tax reform. i think we could all agree

this could be a huge revenue creator and saver, spending saver at the end of the day. how do you do that and come to the middle? >> well, first of all, the issue of tax rates is off the table now. i mean rates went up on folks over 400,000. tracy: but, patty murray will propose more increases again on wednesday. changing taxes is not off the table clearly. >> yeah. i don't know what will be in her budget, i don't think the president is talking about new higher taxes. what he has been clearly talking about is cleaning up the tax code, where i think there is widespread acknowledgement that it just, it is a disaster. it is anti-growth. tracy: right. >> and often times doing bad economic consequences. so, the debate with us whether we take some of the revenues and invest them in education and infrastructure which is something i would strongly support. we have to have a growth

component to our budget discussion. tracy: representative garrett, i want to give you the last word because we're running out of time. we're hearing more and more corporations parking money overseas. payroll tax cut is hurting people at home how do you fix this? >> one thing in paul ryan's budget does we'll vote out make more tear tomorrow -- territorial tax system, get companies overseas, u.s. companies not to be taxed twice and bring the money back to this country without a penalty. that will go a long way to fixing the tax code. second point on tax reform, tax reform is only reform don't take it from one pocket to another pocket. in other words tax it in another way. thank you. >> wow! you guys had a little kumbayah moment. >> we'll see about that. tracy: congressman garrett and congressman welch, congressman garrett is my representative in new jersey. >> thanks. >> thank you. ashley: very gene y'all. i hope that is a good sign. tracy: i hope so too. ashley: puerto rico is not just a popular vacation

destination. isn't that beautiful? find out why some rich americans are deciding to call it home. tracy: if only. look at some winners and losers on the s&p 500 as we head out to break. dow is up 42 points. mcgraw-hill up 3%. look at that move today. we'll be right back.

>> dow pushing higher for a 7th straight session, and nicole, in a tight range, but the upside. >> how do you feel about the market? it was a record week, and,

today, people predicted this over bought market might see a little bit of selling, and, yet, interday highs, again, did you anticipate this? >> i did. if you go back to the conversation from friday, this is what we spoke about the the momentum in the market wants to move the market higher. there's negative news from china over the weekend and this morning, but the market shrugs it off and looks at positive news. buyback news, mna effects on the market, and it seems now the market is taking the good data letting the market evaporate higher. >> it won't quit, not just yet. back to you. >> thank you, nicole, back in 15 minutes. >> wealthy americans are increasingly interested in puerto rico as are not so wealthy americans like myself. it's not just a vacation destination, but as a home thanks to a 1-year-old law that gives them a big tax break. gerri willis has more i didn't

know this existed. >> yeah, john paulson, the fellow who bet against america in mortgages made a fortune off our backs, he's a new yorker, facing a 50% effective tax rate, but if he goes to puerto rico, he owes no tax on any of his capital gains, so that's what we wants to do. apparently, some other nine americans have done the same thing. he would be the tenth. you got to understand that if we don't change the tax code, this is what happens. >> the loophole is if he's a resident of puerto rico, he does not owe u.s. tax on gapes? >> or puerto rico. no taxes. >> who wrote that? >> somebody in puerto rico because they want to bring in people like -- do you want him to have residency there? >> we're going to see a lot of this. >> big story in the "wall street

journal" today is how companies park money overseas, and individuals parking money overseas, but it costs so much less to do that. when you think about the $9.5 billion that otherwise would be in our country based here, it just makes a lot more sense. >> although, 50% would be in the coffers of the irs being wasted so go figure. >> that's a good point. it's true. >> what's going on tonight? >> doing something really interesting. we're taking a look at some administration officials who say despite the fact the federal government is the largest it's ever been and taking in more money than it ever has, they don't have the tools needed to do their job. the fca and eric holder both saying, you know what? sire, but we can't do what we are supposed to do. we'll tell you all about it. >> already feel anger welling up. thank you. >> them you're on track. >> yes. >> "the willis report" tonight at six and nine eastern here on

>> too big to fail takes center stage again as major banks face a second round of stress tests from the fed. now, peter barnes joins us now from washington, d.c. with more on this story. peter? >> well, hey, ashley, big banks in the spotlight all week on too big to fail. you got community bankers opening their annual convention in las vegas today, and they want congress to clamp down on their big banking brothers. the fed will announce a bank capital plan thursday for the 18 largest banks. a house committee will hold a hearing thursday on too big to fail itself, and a senate committee holds a hearing friday on jpmorgan chase's $6 billion

trading loss from the london wale. now, to critics, too big to fail means big banks still get bailouts if they are in trouble, and all of that, the critics say, gives the banks competitive advantages. dodd-frank financial reform, that was supposed to fix all of this, but critics say it did not go far enough. they want congress to break up the big banks, which are fighting back. >> it will produce more competition, i think, for the consumer. it'll produce more benefits and competition for the real economy companies that use these bank's services and are often both investors and real economy companies that are often overcharged by the banks. >> if a bank gets in trouble, there's living wills, stress tests, and orderly lick dation authority giving federal authorities to seize a bank that's failing and wind it down. if there's a cost to the taxpayer, the money is paid back

through an assessment on the entire industry. >> now, a handful of lawmakers propose legislation to put more limits on big banks, even breaking them up, but all of that faces an uphill fight here in congress because, guess what? the big banks are lobbying hard against the legislation. >> of course they are. peter barnes in dc. thank you, peter. >> you bet. >> a battle over intention holds. they charged illinois with fraud for misleading municipal bond investors on unfunneledded pension liabilities. illinois agreed to settle charges, obviously, and will pay no penalty, a shocker. joining us for more on this, fox news, judge, nothing, a slap on the wrist? >> nothing. same happened with your home state and mine, new jersey, in 2010. basically, the fcc said to new jersey then and said to illinois earlier today, you committed fraud by marketing securities,

getting people to lend money to the state without revealing to them the true nature of the risk attendant upon the lending because you're not bringing in enough income to guarantee the payments of the debt and repayment of the loans. >> right. >> new jersey was accused of doing that, signed an agreement said, we did it, but we won't. illinois signed the same agreement. they do not treat banks or private lenders who trade publicly with the same kid gloves that it does a government because if it took money from the government, that's taking money from the taxpayers, and the purpose the investigation was to protect the taxpayers. it's a catch 22. the best the fcc can hope for is to make lenders aware of the fact that the states will lie and cheat and commit fraud so look before you leap, and it embarrass the states into revealing what was done, but no

sanctions will be assessed, 2340 -- no fine levied, nobody goes to jail, and no individual to embarrass. >> you have to admit it, but there's no teeth. >> correct. think about how ridiculous it is. the federal government found fraud on the part of one of the state, and the manner in which it treated people who entrusted their money to the states. it doesn't identify the names of the people who committed fraud. it doesn't make them pay money back. it just says don't do it again. >> but there's got to be people scratching their head saying we have to change the rules. >> well, if someone loses money as a result of what the fcc uncovered with respect to illinois, there's a treasure-trove of material that the fcc uncovered for the lawyers for those who lost the money, and that is information can be used by those lawyers in the lawsuit against the state, but if nobody loses money or sues or the state of illinois borrows from one column in order to make another column look solvent, there will be no lawsuit or further exposition.

>> anything in jersey? >> no, no, no. good question. same thing. we won't do it again. it's not really that toothless. what it does is shine a light on the careers of people, if we figure out who they are publicly, who caused this to happen, and it basically says to institutional and individual lenders, look before you leap. just don't assume because it's a state government that -- >> that they tell the truth. >> or municipality regulated by the state that they tell the truth and the cash will be there when the bond is due for redemption. >> crazy, muni bonds supposed to be the safest thing on the planet. >> supposed to be. they were. >> they were. judge, glad you were here for that. it's mind boggling. >> disturbing. thank you, judge. a quarter till, time for stocks, back to nicole at the nyc. >> a market that just won't quit. you heard john talk about the

in a bubble. if you look at the most liquid names out of 1.4 trillion dollars corporate bond market, about 30%-35% is a bubble, and that's all the stuff that's large index and large mutual fund owned. >> you could say there's a lot of big asset managers out there thirsting for yield, and companies basically issue a lot of crap? >> that's exactly right. all of the crap is getting refinanced because of the asset class, and the highly leveraged companies, and even the companies that don't have good balance sheets and cash flow statements are getting refinanced and pushing out maturity so doomsday is at a later date. >> ron, how can you obviously maximize return, but minimize your risk? >> well, you have to buy hyld. in high yield bond markets, you

have about 30-35% of the market that is played in by, you know, the big index funds and the big mutual funds leaving 70% of the market that's really untouched, and we're still seeing above 8% distribution yield between 9-10% overall, all returns, total returns, and so there's a lot to do out there, and it's a big, big market. >> you make a distinction between the passively managed funds and yours that is actively managed. what's the difference there? >> well, they are restricted by charters. they can't own any companies that have less than a billion dollars in debt outstanding, and the side has to be between 400 and 600 depending which index fund you look at. we have no restrictions. we can buy anywhere with any rating between bb-plus to ccc. we go to the value. we look for values for securities under valued and they have appreciation left in them.

>> yeah, because when you look at investment grade corporate bonds, sometimes yields are oftentimes less than 1%. >> yeah, we have seen deals come out that 75 basis points over libor, just unheard of, and with the ten year over 2% now, you know, a lot of the low bonds and long duration portfolios take a hit, so investment grade is not the place to be right now. >> and, finally, ron, are you concerned about the rally seen in equities in this so-called rotation out of fixed income into the market? >> yeah, you know, we start with fundamentals of the companies, and we're not seeing any top line growth, and we're not seeing any line growthment things are stable out there, and for a bet investor, it's fine, but equity guys, you get expansion on the moment. s, and that's not a good scenario to invest in. >> all right. very good. ron heller, ceo asset management, we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me.

>> all right. well, at movie theaters a year ago this weekend, disney had a disaster with "john carter," and now disney rises again with "oz: the great and powerful," hopefully for a belter result. dennis kneale has that story. >> hi, guys. the wizard is back, baby, the $300 million gamble wins the box office raking in $150 million worldwide, and $80 million here in the u.s., and "oz" had the best opening this year, taking in three times as the opening the "jack the giant slayer," and it was the third best opening for a film in march ever trailing only "hunger games," and "alice in wanderland," cheering up hollywood pepping up a box office down 15% so far this year. it's sweet vindication for the mouse house.

a year ago, there was a big "john carter" loss losing $2 murks billion. the stock was up today as well. disney could look at the next sequel fran chiz. -- franchise. it did well overseas even though oz is not big there, and this may do better among dulgts than children. 15% were teenagers, and 52% was couples. it's in spite of mixed reviews and scorching in the new york times with the malignant calling, oz, quote, disspiritting, small ideas, and ugly visuals. oh, really? ugly visuals. mila kunis, michelle williams and rachel weis ugly? i don't think so. >> you keep reporting on the movie just to say their three names and just to show their pictures, don't you? >> eventually, mila's going to

call. [laughter] just to say hi. >> hold your breath, but god bless you. >> you are back tomorrow with another story and mila. >> and next hour of trading, renowned trader, sharing dow targets for 2013 and beyond, and, yes, the numbers may surprise you. "countdown to the closing bell" is next. ♪
