With a growing issue weve followed closely here on power lunch. Tomorrow the Maryland State Assembly takes up a bill treating Energy Drinks like tobacco banning sales and marketing to minors. If it goes through in maryland, that state would be the first to make that kind of a move, although several cities are considering legislation. Despite that, Monster Energy stock is on a tear. In the last through months alone stock up 17 . Near a record high. Were going to talk with analyst john foshae in a moment. One of many wall street analysts with a buy on that stock. One of tomorrows star witnesses, a maryland cardiologist who joins, dr. Stacy fisher, who has seen the effects of these drinks firsthand. Dr. Kim williams, Vice President of the American College of cardiology who recently told us it took researchers decades to study the effects of cigarette smoking. Mow data is needed before we can heal tell how Energy Drinks impact the heart. Is it fair to move forward without more studies . The Beverage Association sent interesting comments on that. Go to dr. Fisher and talk to her about this. Doctor, you have seen first hand this week alone, i believe, several instances that are linked to these Energy Drinks. Correct . Absolutely. Weve seen issues in both healthy and unhealthy patients, and a lot of emergency room visits. As a matter of fact, the emergency room visits from 2003 to 2011 have quadrupled. Theres poison control data that shows that emergency room visits in 2011 directly related to Energy Drinks for more than 20,000. Those emergency room visits often dont include people that were actually there for Energy Drinks because were just learning as a medical community to even ask. You know, what about dr. Kim williams statement . He thinks that there needs to be more time to study whether or not what youre seeing in the emergency room can be directly linked to these Energy Drinks, and he points out the fact that it took us decades to study the effects of smoking before we put in the kind of restrictions that we now have on cigarettes. I would assume you disagree with that . I do. I think were better than that at this point. As a matter of fact, maryland chapter of the American College of cardiology fully supports this bill and has sent written testimony from dr. Mugman, the head of the maryland chapter to annapolis even last night. Really, we think that we could do a lot bet petebetter. Theres a lot of mounting data and no evidence that the drinks are safe or the mix of caffeine and the newer ingredients have even been tested together nevertheless tested in our children. Quickly, doctor, you believe that its the mix thats in the drinks . Not just the caffeine alone, but the other parts of the beverage that contribute to the effects that you believe its having on some of your patients . Exactly. And, again, these ingredients added are not really meeting generally recognized to safe standards and have never been tested in the quantityies being used and with the combinations that are being used. Okay. Doctor, thank you very much. Were watch your testimony tomorrow. Thank you very much. All right, now to the stock sides of things, and basically as we wait for the president to make his statement. Theres a look at monster beverage. Today its down, but one year move on that stock of better than 50 , 50 and 1 3 as matter of fact. While we wait for the president to make his statement, lets get the stock side of things and get to john foushey who joins us. You have an overweight or buy on this particular stock. Are you at all worried about the potential liabilities outlined by dr. Fisher . Yes. I think the entire investment xmunt concerned in terms of some of the regulatory overhang. Thats had two impacts over the last 12 months. Kept the multiple lower than anticipated and probably has a little, has had a little bit of a dampening effect on demand. Right now, though, i think the Beverage Industry is doing a great job in terms of working with the fda, working with the senate to try to move this along, and i think the key factor is, they are tightening their marketing standards to make sure theyre not marketing the problem to marketing the product to kids under 18. I think thats the key factor. Making sure theyre going after the right target. We have to go to the white house. Excuse me, john. Theres the question. I wanted to provide a brief update on our efforts to address the ongoing crisis in ukraine. Since the russian intervention, weve been mobilizing the International Community to condemn this violation of International Law. And to support the people and government of ukraine. This morning, i signed an executive order that authorizes sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, or for stealing the assets of the ukrainian people. According to my guidance, the state department has also put in place restrictions on the travel of certain individuals and officials. These decisions continue our efforts to impose a cost on russia, and those responsible for the situation in crimea. And they also give us the flexibility to adjust our response Going Forward based on russias actions. We took these steps in close coordination with our european allies. Ive spoken to several of our closest friends around the world and am pleased that our International Unity is on display at this important moment. Already weve moved together to announce substantial assistance for the government in kiev, and today in brussels, our allies took similar steps to impose costs on russia. I am confident that we are moving forward together. United in our determination to oppose actions that violate International Law. And to support the government and people of ukraine. And that includes standing up for the principle of state sovereignty. The proposed referendum on the future of crimea would violate the ukrainian constitution and violate International Law. Any discussion about the future of ukraine must include the legitimate government of ukraine. In 2014, we are well beyond the days when borders can be redrawn over the heads of democratic leaders. While we take these steps, i want to be clear that there is also a way to resolve this crisis that respects the interests of the russian federation. As well as the ukrainian people. International monitors, let them into all of ukraine including crimea assuring all rights of respected including russians. Between consultations between the government of russia and ukraine with the participation of the International Community. Russia would maintain its basing rights in crimea, provided that it abides by its agreements and respects ukraines saovereignty and territorial integrity and the world should support of people of ukraine as they move to elections in may. Thats the path of the escalation. And secretary kerry is engaged in discussions with all of the relevant parties, including russia and ukraine to pursue that path. But if this violation of International Law continues, the result would be the united and our allies and International Community will remain firm. Weve taken this to the allies and to support the people of ukraine. One last point. A lot in congress about these issues. Today once again im calling on congress to follow up on these words with action. Specifically to support the imfs capacity to lend resources to ukraine and provide american assistance for the Ukrainian Government to weather this storm and stabilize their economy, make reforms deliver for their people all of which will provide a smoother pathway for the elections that have already been scheduled in may. Today the world can see that the United States is united with our allies and partners in upholding International Law. And pursuing a just outcome that advances Global Security and the future that the ukrainian people deserve. Thats what were going to continue to do in the days to come until we have seen a resolution to this crisis. Thanks very much, and jay and ben and others will be happy to take your questions. Do you think to vladimir putin, listening to you, sir . Well, the president concluding his remarks, and taking no questions there. Leaving that to jay carney, his press secretary. From the press room in washington. Were going to bring in john harwood and michelle carusocabrera. Maybe hes not taking questions, he just walks away and now is back. John harwood, are you with us down in washington . I am, and i just heard the president ignore that shouted question about vladimir putin. I thought the most significant thing that he said in, aside from reiterating the sanctions imposed this morning, senior officials announced earlier today, was his assertion that the referendum in crimea is not a legitimate way to determine the future of crime mi crimea. Any determination has to be done consistent with the constitution and sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. Officials said this morning the announcement of the referendum yet was not what triggered the amouns innocent of sanctions today, nevertheless the president took the opportunity to talk about both today and reiterating russia has that offtroomp deescalate if they choose to. That could, michelle carusocabrera, a referendum, as i understand it, on secession for the region or province of ukraine known at the crimea . Absolutely. Right on that, tyler. Originally scheduled for march 30th. Theyve moved it far forward. The other points, john highlighting trying to get russia to recognize Ukrainian Government. This comes as, remember, the Russian Foreign minister refused to meet with the Ukrainian Foreign minister in paris, even went out to the microphones and when the reporters asked him, did you meet with the ukrainian . He said, was he here . I didnt see him. Just almost in a childish kind of way. The additional point i would make beyond what john said, the last issue about the imf. There is some politics in here. The imf, wants more funding. The u. S. Needs to give funding to the imf. The gop has thus far gone against that. Now it looks like theyre going to try to wrap ukrainian funding into the imf funding to make both of them move forward, and so that was a subtle message to the gop that if you want to help the ukrainians, which the vast majority, its our understanding do, you have to go along with that as well. Michelle, john, thank you. Another thing of note there, hes calling for international monitors to be put on the ground throughout ukraine, including crimea, to ensure that all parties, ethnic russians, ukrainian as well, have their rights protected. All right. A big day for stocks. The s p 500 hitting a new record high today. And we are up, up and away. Lets take a look at the numbers, shall we .

Talk more about this market with krn cnbc market director of floor operations, kenny. So the president came out, made a statement on ukraine, and there was thought to be a lot of headline risk in this market. We were up 85 points. Now up 78. So it seems as though the markets kind of put that to the side for now, anyway. Right. Because i dont necessarily think as we sat here and lived to it, that he said nothing new, really, because all of this has been kind of leaking out as, you know, the last couple days have gone on. Right. What our position is what were going to do. I think the market was kind of, discounted that already and is prepared to move forward. Its focusing on tomorrows report, yet i still think the geopolitical risk is simmering under the surface. Any tone, rhetoric change can turn the market on a dime. Thats what people need to be just concerned about. Watch that report tomorrow morning, 8 30. Kenny, thank you very much. Back up to dom for a market flash. Thanks.

We are watching shares of General Motors today. The newly installed ceo, mary berra, facing her first major test following that big recall. Cnbcs phil lebeau is in chicago for us. Phil . Tyler, a lot of questions swirling around General Motors and how it handles this recall. A big test for mary who took over ceo middle of january. When looking at this entire issue, a nhtsa special order sent yesterday. 107 questions sent to General Motors, who knew what, what did they know it, when did you notify the public . Nhtsa would like those answers by april 3rd. Not a lot of time for General Motors, to answer these questions. The probe surrounds the recall or investigation of a recall of 1. 3 million cars. General motors recalled those cars between may 2003 and 2007. For the ceo, mary, how quickly can she contain this problem going on and on . Already launched and internal investigation how the Company Handled the recall and is promising an unvarnished review of the situation and whats developed. The question has come up to her, is gms reputation potentially threatened by this investigation . She sent a letter to employees the other day saying the vehicles we make today are the best in memory and im confident they will do fine on their own merits and our companys reputation wont be determined by the recall itself but how we address the problem Going Forward. Clearly look a shares of General Motors. Its obvious investors are not worried about this investigation. Its outpacing the market in the last month, tyler and sue, but this is an issue not going away and more serious questions are coming to General Motors, and to ceo mary berra. Thanks.

Institutional investors despite all the attention they get, a small stair on buyers. Nationwide, its large. Because they put a floor on prices during the crash by buying up the most distressed properties. A new report along with a map from realty trap puts it all in perspective. Looking back to 2011, Institutional Investors, defined as those buying at least ten promise a year bought 219,000 Residential Properties nationwide, or just over 5 of all sales. But you can see by the yellow and red where they really were concentrated. In the former boom markets. That share bumped up to 259,000 homes in 2012 then shot up to 354,000 last year. Thats 7. 4 of the market. During those three years home prices jumped 14 . As you go more local, in counties where Institutional Investors accounted for more than 10 of sales, home prices jumped on average 23 , according to realty track. That was in 88 counties which is 12 of the population according to the report. So why do we care about all of these numbers . Because we know now in 2014, investors are buying fewer promise. There are fewer distressed homes and fewer good deals for investors. Yes, still buying some, but their slowdown is why home price gains are pulling back. Lots more, more number, of course, Online Realty check, cnbc. Com. Thank you so much. Tomorrows the big day for the big jobs report.

Manhattan prosecutors accusing three former leaders of the once prominent law firm dewey and labeouf of cooking the books, of hiding the firms deepening financial struggles from banks and other creditors as well. According to the indictment, the scheme ran from november 2008 to early march 2012. Shortly before dewey fell into Bankruptcy Court and dissolved. The three former leaders charged with a number of crimes including grand larceny, securities fraud, conspiracy and falsifying business records. Lawyers for the three men say they did not commit any crimes. Ty, up to you. Sue, thank you. Only a small fraction of the money from Allen Stanfords 7 billion ponzi scheme has been returned to victims. So where did the rest of it go . Scott cohen . A good question, tyler. You know, the stanford fraud is one of the biggest scams ever, if you just consider the numbers. 7 billion on paper, around 5 billion in actual losses, almost all retirees, who didnt have a whole lot to begin with. Of that, only 263 million recovered, nearly half eaten by expenses including winding down Allen Stanfords operations. No small fee. Leaving the grand total, less than 3 cents on the dollar. Where is the rest of the 5 billion 28,000 entrusted into the globetrotting knight from antigua . The man in charge of finding it, attorney ralph januariby, at this five years,ever done an interview until now. We know where it went. To redemptions and spending. Pretty comfortable. Theres no money hidden anywhere we can find. Weve looked. One of the things we did in the early days of receivership. How can you be oh confident . He supposedly was a pretty smart guy, or at least a wellconnected guy. Had assets all around the world. Had people whose name he could put the money in. How could you be so sure there isnt some pool of money somewhere . Weve traced the money. Thats frustrating for the victims. I understand that. The money was gone before we came in. Hes recovered hurns of thousands more including five banks which did business with stanford. Billions of dollars go through them. They should have known what was going on. They were on notice and did nothing about it. This for years and years and years. So if the Justice Department then would go criminally after banks who did virtually the same thing as the madoff case, stands to remain they may want to go after the five banks you just named . Correct. Listing the allegation, a lot of these people were retirees, relying on this money. If theyre still waiting five years for pennies of the dollar, thats devastating. Really devastating.
