dr. j, anything new today? >> the miners looked they were tossed out with the bath water. we talked about that with you and pete on tuesday. that indeed has played out because those were down 10% or 14%. if it was the junior miners, they were down 14%. look at the moves those have made, judge. it plays into patty's trade as well that many of the miners are feeling a little lift from what has gone on it this week. then i point to the birthing pains on tuesday. in other words, right up until the actual event, you do have some spits and starts where people are worried that the deelt wondeal won't go through. that was that 200-point sell-off we had. that was the opportunity to take advantage of. if you tossed out the portfolio or lightened up significantly on a 200-point decline, shame on you. that's why i -- i guess that's why you're watching rather than trading. >> let's get more perspective now on what's happening today. tobias, welcome to the program today. >> thank you very much. >> three

dr. j.?out the narrowing of the range in the market in general, scott. and also right now the contango where the futures are relative to where the vix is right now. near the record level. ten dollars between where the spot vix is right now and the june contract. that does say that we're looking at a likelihood that the vix will be moving up in the near term. perhaps not days but not much more than weeks. >> pretty attractive to buy protection at 14 or below. >> indeed. when we broke through 14 briefly today out of 1399 for the spot vix that was the lowest level in five years. >> that was in like ten years. molycorp getting a bid prompting a rare earth rumble. >> i think that's the story with the rare earths. it's a thietly held commodity geographically speaking. there's really not a lot outside of china's control. so i think a lot of the way this stocks trades is predicated on supply, rather than demand. you have to exexpect volatility to be the norm. i don't really like this group. but if yo

give yourself a bit of cushion. >> dr. j. >> vphm.uying april 25 puts much larger than the open interest. tells me that

. >> dr. j., you do as well. >> i do. you talked about narrowing range in the vix which is clearly at least part of it. i'll also point out that about 40 minutes ago or so we saw a pretty significant jump in the vix. and that was as bob pisani said partly due to the fact that we're doing a rollover as far as which options price into the vix and so forth. there's definitely a comfort level and fears of unknowns as always but at least as far as the greek situation, that unknown is known and we're not so much worried about that becoming something that the boogie man in the closet and now of course it's portugal or italy or spain. >> let's talk about banks here. a big week. the fed will release stress test results on thursday. which banks will pass the test with flying colors and will it mean a big boost for bank dividends. let's bring in dick. it's good to have you back on the fast money halftime report. how are you? >> good. >> score this for us in advance. who is likely to come out on top? >> banks with a big amount of tre

dr. j, you saw some unusual activity. >> what a surprise. >> that's why you have to pay attention. >> people that were watching for the filing were reacting to it, perhaps some of the people that reacted before the gazetting that wasn't supposed to be gazetted were reacting. they were buying in the premarket today with no news out. they were buying as soon as the options opened it ran all the way up to nearly 130, which became at the money call. in fact, in fact it was trading about three times norm an full-session volume. >> do you buy it now, though, on the premise of they are going to get approval, and this is a gift of approximately 2%. >> let me turn to joey t., so you like the stock, your answer would be yes? >> yes, let me tell you why. macau revenue up on the year. wynn has had distractions with the okata is -- wynn is not even above the -- so excellent tail wind right now in macau in terms of the revenue, a lot of potential up sides. you have shorts in the space. i think there's mo

dr. j, are you overly concerned with what's going on in china, given the fact that they lowered their growth expectations to 7.5%? >> no. the main reason i'm not overly concerned about that, scott, is that china, i don't really believe what china says, whether it's bullish or bearish. so i pay attention to what, when they speak and obviously it does move markets, so i react to your note. but as far as would i pay attention to it, for anything more than moments in time, no, so i think that they'll say what they need to say. no matter what it might be. i don't want to invest based on what china says about its economy. >> joe, what are you doing in the market today? >> silver. gold, still short the futures, i think that's the right trade. think much about what's going on today is not so much the concerns about china, but what has been working the trades, whether it be the financials or whether it be the technology names, for the first time they're feeling a little pressure. it's in market in n

you know, speaking of najarian, dr. "jsome interesting math for us on "fast money" last night putting apple's rise in perspective. if you had bought an average house ten years ago, the average house costs $228,000. you bought the average house today, that same amount of investment would be worth in the form of a house $28,000, if you had spent the same amount of money instead of buying that house and bought shares of apple, you would have $9.9 million. and i rounded down. >> people at home, i know you think it's a mug's game so often, all you do is lose. this is one where you saw the kid by the second ipod because they wanted a fashion statement, that was your signal. the older generation are still thinking hewlett-packard. if you look at that stock, that has to be unone of the worst performers i've ever seen. still $120 billion in revenues. those can go away. >> shares of wynn climbing this morning. filing to hold a special shareholder's meetings on the possible removal of kazuo okada. >> i think that issue is going to be
