kevin o'leary is on "shark tank." and you can catch "the profit" at 10:00 p.m. eastern. >>> now, it's time for "fast money." >> thanks. "fast money" starts right now. we start with breaking news on u.s. stocks and today's record rally. investors breathing a sigh of relief, as tensions between russia and ukraine appear to ease. the s&p closing at an all-time high. the s&p and the dow having their best day of the year. the nasdaq closing at a 14-year high. and the russell 2000 seeing their biggest jump. tim seymour, brian kelly, josh brown and pete najarian. so, it's like it never happened. josh brown. what happened to this? >> ukraine is a huge trading partner with the united states. so -- it was a really great excuse to inject a little bit of fear into the market. and for people to be cognizant about how much risk they were taking. but in the end of the day, no one can predict geo politics. and people went bananas. let's focus on the u.s. market. what's really the story here is how broad this rally truly was. 490 of the s&p 500 stocks were up. every, single one

wonderful, kevin o'leary and the author of "cold hard truth on men, women & money."t's very simple. hates the same gravity that every other retailer has. it's a merchandiser. it has to try to figure out what products it has inside it that will entice a consumer to buy. the problem nobody has focused on and the reason it's failing is that basically the number one item people buy is a mobile device now. so, i can go to any of the merchandise locations of an at&t or verizon or sprint or t-mobile and get 80% of what i want to buy every year and i think that has eroded the base upon which radioshack built its base in the first place. i won't buy a resister or a cell phone or ipad. >> they tried to pivot toward that, they tried to set themselves up by selling more mobile accessories, at least. it just hasn't worked and they are stuck with this image problem that they are old school. >> here's what i think will happen at the end game. this is going to go to zero unfortunately in my opinion ap along the way, the assets and the locations will be scooped up by mobile players b

joining me is sharon epperson, marcus lemonis, kevin o'leary, and our very own kate kelly.gest today, guys. a lot of focus, kate, seems to be on all of a sudden it looks like, you know, is it the financials? is it tech? bob pisani just told us suddenly everyone wants to short the cloud and go long some of the emerging market space. nobody can dig out what the paradigm is. i think you're absolutely right. i have been taking a look at macrotraders and they're struggling. a lot of presumptive market moves are breaking down. of course, janet yellen last week gave a bit of a surprise in terms of her signaling about what would happen to interest rates six months after tapering stopped. so i think you're seeing strength unexpectedly in fixed income markets, especially in the markets. you're seeing sector specific shifts that weren't necessarily predictable either whether that be tech or financials. b biotech getting crushed the last few days. people are struggling to see where the traditional patterns are. >> sharon, we're not getting much help from the space you cover closely and

kevin o'leary from "shark tank" believes it's a good business model.and it's particularly relevant in today's market because consumers want to know where their food comes from. and our family farmers grow and then we process and sell their beverages. and then 100% of the profit from our grape-related products go directly back to our family farmer owners. >> you just released farmers pick which is a no preservatives no artificial flavors no synthetic colors or ingredients line. >> yes. >> why did it take so long to get there if you are representing these 1,100 farmers? aren't they making naturally ingredients anyway? was it merely the technology that held you back that were you overprocessing or was it that the demand wasn't there in the market that you were putting this stuff out that lives forever? >> we've had our 100% concord grape juice for a long long time and that product is a terrific, terrific product. what we found is that the consumer wanted this no artificial ingredients and one of the special things about this juice is that we -- it's unfil
