>> coming up, bob simon goes swimming with sharks. >> are you clear with everything i've said so far,? >> yeah, how do i get out? >> that's next when 60 minutes on cnbc returns. the employee of the month isss... the new spark card from capital one. spark miles gives me the most rewards of any small business credit card. the spark card earns double miles... so we really had to up our game. with spark, the boss earns double miles on every purchase, every day. that's setting the bar pretty high. owning my own business has never been more rewarding. coming through! [ male announcer ] introducing spark the small business credit cards from capital one. get more by choosing unlimited double miles or 2% cash back on every purchase, every day. what's in your wallet? >> there may be no single fear as intense and as widespread as the fear of confronting a shark. they even inhabit the nightmares of people who don't swim. so it comes as a surprise that more and more people these days are seeking out sharks and paying millions of dollars a year to get as close to them as they possibly can. but here

bob simon reported in august of 2009, shark attacks are on the rise.any blame these attacks on shark tourism, in a place which is called "shark central." >> reporter: more than 35,000 tourists, americans and europeans mainly come here every year to the tip of south africa where two oceans meet with the hope of seeing what we were lucky enough to see. >> whoa! >> great white going after a seal. exploding out of the ocean like a cruise missile. >> whoa! >> reporter: take another look. as two tons of fish, 20 feet long getting air. >> this is the best place in the world to learn about the secret life of these animals. that's what attracts me. >> reporter: the secret life. >> so secret. >> reporter: so secret says aden martin that we know little about great white sharks. we don't know how many there are or how long they live. we have never seen them mate or give birth. >> fantastic. look at that. such an enormous guy gets so far out of the water. >> it is essentially profile and sacrificed mobility for speed. it is like having a truck running on the bicycl

and later bob simon has a story from canada on the environmental damage caused by the next great oil rush. but our first story involves a controversial waste product that could have damaging effects on the environment. there are more than 600 coal-fired power plants generating electricity in the u.s., and those plants produce 130 million tons of waste called coal ash. it contains concentrations of mercury, arsenic, lead, and other toxic materials. and as lesley stahl first reported in 2009, when coal ash is dumped into wet ponds--and there are more than 500 of those across the country-- the result can have an enormous health risk on the people living in nearby communities. >> we get about 48%, nearly half of the electricity in this country from coal. >> jim roewer is one of the top lobbyists for the power industry. >> coal is going to be around for a long time. >> and we really can't get rid of coal. >> we shouldn't get rid of coal. >> well, should or shouldn't, we can't, and coal makes waste. would you say that the industry has done a good job of disposing of the coal ash waste? >>

this is a clip that angelina did with a conversation with bob simon. here it is.o be a pretty bad girl. you are an ambassador, a member of the council on foreign relations. >> uh-huh. >> you're a humanitarian activist. do you ever miss being a bad girl? >> i'm still a bad girl. >> yeah? >> you know, i still have that side of me that is -- it's in its place now. it belongs -- you know, it belongs to brad or it belongs to our adventures. >> there is a kind of attitude -- >> she's still a bad girl. >> she's a bad girl. >>? what way. >> it's not for public consumption. >> i'm struck by the fact that you two have this dual career when she's maybing a film, you're with her. when you're promoting a film, she's with you. >> and they're with us. >> the kids are all there. >> always. >> is that easier for them or difficult for them or like the idea? >> they're quite used to jet lag and moving to a new location. as long as we're together. the home is always intact. >> they take their own blankets. >> they got to pack their own bags. they're responsible if they leave their ch

. >> he certainly can. "60 minutes" correspondent bob simon sat down with him.e courtesy of "60 minutes" overtime. >> magnus carlsen is the top chess player in the world, he's 21 years old. super human is about as good a word i can find. i can imagine what it's like to be a good tennis player or a -- what he does is unfathomable. >> most of the time i know what to do. i don't have to figure it out. i don't have to sit there and calculate for 45 minutes, an hour to know what the right move. i just -- usually i can just feel it immediately. >> if you know immediately, why do you sit there for a half hour? we've been watching you for a week and you're sitting there until we're watching the paint dry. >> well, because i have to verify my opinion, see that i haven't missed anything. but lots of the time it's fairly useless, because i know what i'm going to do and then i sit there for a long time and i do what i immediately wanted to do. >> he's called the mozart of chess. and i can see it. you couldn't understand how mozart did what he did. it came from another world

simon. we want to bring in two more voices to the mix. we bring in bob pisani, looking at stocks, along with mark harris at rbc capital markets with more on today's action. gentlemen, simon's talking about the possibility of a resolution in europe, but the ltro is sort of a wild karld out there. how do you think the markets react to a new lending facility tomorrow? >> i'll be honest. i think it's in there, unless we get amazingly of arriving tailwind. i think we'll get to the number everyone wants, the 500, and move on. >> if there's only a low number, 300 billion, is that good news for the markets? if it's 800 billion, is that good news? how do we declare the success or not success? >> the strategists of the world set that expectation. that number has been sent out there. you're right, it's a disappointing number. >> what's the disappointing number? >> something below 5. >> lower is disappointing rather than higher is disappointing. you could argue on different sides of this. >> you could. >> absolutely. you're right. >> isn't that true, simon? if we ge

. >> bob, thanks very much. simon, when those headlines came out, they were very vague.ow we have a little bit more detail and it sounds as though it's much more complicated than just the initial headline which was they hadn't filed paperwork. what's your take? >> i think it's very simple. i've been saying it for two days. there's a danger the market assumes that europe would continue to kick the can down the road. at best, they've now pulled greece in on a very tight leash. the danger is that they don't kick the can down the road. last wednesday they said to greece, we want two things for you -- to fill the budget gap and we want you to come through and all of you to sign up, you will continue austerity of april. from what was just said, they have got neither. it's not about an ability to get paperwork to lukxembourg. everybody has e-mail. we need to get the psi details out tomorrow. the timetable is that the march 20 money that they need to pay their bills by -- we need to get the private sector bond swap out. we need to get that started because it takes so long to get

bob pisani. >> thank you, simon. five to one advancing to decl e declinideclin declining stocks.nd are you ready for this? strong volume. we could do 4.5 billion shares on the consolidated, maybe even a little more. haven't done that in quite a while. volume, would you believe it? take a look at new highs of the major indices. dow industrials, all we have to do is close above 12,810 to hit a new three-year high. three and a half year high as well that's historic high for the s&p retail index. it's a basket of all of the retail stocks that are out there. and home builders index, believe it or not, is sitting right near a 52-week high as well. financials are the leadership group even though many sectors are above 1%. particular strength in the big cap financial names. there's your usual suspects. all up 3% to 4%. finally, we had a great week for ipos this week. no, not facebook. i mean regular old ipos that came in down here on the nasdaq. we're going to have 10 ipos next week rolling on including a very familiar name, here's one i bet you haven't seen in a long time. caesars enter

bob pisani. more details on the news out of agrees. simon hobbs has the details. >> phenomenal rally as bob highlighted, maria, gain of around 80 points from the lows of the session right back up to the fatlat line on the dow, because this character samaras will probably be the next prime minister after the next election, and last wednesday it was one of the two extra conditions that the rest of europe put on the greeks, that this guy and the other main political leaders today at the meeting that you see there, in athens with the greek prime minister should agree they would maintain austerity after the april election. it was absolutely key for the french and dutch and germans who are getting increasingly impatient with greece and rancor rising between them. the other key condition they detail further 320 million euros, we are not sure they did that today. in essence adds life to tomorrow's meeting. we think there will be a conference call between the euro zone leaders, though the physical meeting was cancelled, presumably get some sort of co

don't go too far, simon. bob's here talking about how -- >> where's the panic? all listening to simon there. that was really quite impressive. the story is, those of you who are still bullish on this, the story is they're throwing in sweeteners in greece. that's all i keep hearing about is sweeteners. instead of a 3.5% coupon they'll give them 3.7% or 3.8% if the economic conditions improve. sweeteners. they're talking about a bigger bailout package. imf is trying to get more money. maybe the esm will get more money. maybe germany will stop being in transit and agree to put more money in. these are the kind of things floating around helping things. nonetheless, the numbers in europe today, the ism numbers, fair, not great. >> sure. >> asian numbers were better overall. i guess there's good cause for being optimistic. i'll tell you what i think is good cause. maybe we are moving independently, much more from europe in the last few weeks and again today p. i think that's encouraging. fundamentals are mattering. earnings are mattering. what's the sector that matters

simon, bob pisani joins us talking about how we're beginning to see some splits between how the u.s.t calls from traders and e-mails. can you explain why we were rallied an hour and a half ago. the dow is positive, up 44 points. there seems to be what traders call an underlying bid to the u.s. market. and the u.s. stock market has been out performing and did last year. recently it has been out performing europe again. you'll notice germany, portugal, italy, spain down three days in a row now. it closed as you saw simon telling you and the u.s. markets basically moving sideways to slightly up in those few days. there have been some signs of weakness. transports, materials. some signs of toppyness. we're doing better over all than europe and our economy is showing better signs of improvement. i want to show you what the analysts anticipate. the estimates, we anticipate a better year. the s&p 500 right now, the current estimates were $105. we made about $95 last year. and if you add a 15 times earnings multiple which is about an average multiple for an average year, you get to s&p. that

. >> our friend simon said rick santorum had studied at the bob dole school of debating. >> here he is. santorum trying to defend his record as a former washington senator who championed earmarks. here it comes. be ready for the excitement. >> unfortunately, attacking me for saying i'm this great earmarker when he not only asked for earmarks for the olympics in tens of millions of dollars, sought those earmarks, and used them. and he did as the governor of massachusetts, $300 million. there was abuse. when abuse happened, i said we should stop the earmarking process. but i did say there were good earmarks and bad earmarks. >> i would put a ban on earmarks. there are a lot of projects that have been voted for. you vote d for the bridge to nowhere. while you were fighting to save the olympics, you were fighting to save the bridge to nowhere. >> they are trying to get the job that teddy roosevelt once had. and they are looking like they are trying to be jerry ford. >> well, that's a good point. romney clearly wanted to get under santorum's skin. santorum was in a positional night where he

let's join bob pisani for the rest of the market action. >> hellhello, simon. 252 of the 300 seats in parliament. in theory they should be able to win the vote on the greek bailout this sunday rather easily. the concern and the reason the markets are down, the coalition itself may fall apart over the weekend. a lot of drama still to come. remember what's been the big market leaders so far this year. material stocks, financial stocks. guess what's off today? we're exactly getting this flip of what the market had been doing here. all the big names, u.s. steel companies, alcoa, the aluminum companies and big mining companies are to the downside. the second big mover of the year on the upside, financials. they're also the biggest downside movers. not just u.s. stocks here like morgan stanley, but also of course the european stocks like deutsche bank and ubs. big industrial names also to the downside as well. construction names the same situation. home builders have been some of the biggest gainers of the year. they too are flipping over here. even the material names in that particular gro

. >> our friend simon said rick santorum sounded like he studied at the bob dole school of debating.> here he is. santorum trying to defend his record as a former washington senator -- not the baseball team -- who championed earmarks by claiming romney took earmarks for the olympics. here it comes. be ready for the excitement. >> unfortunately, attacking me for saying i'm this great earmarker when he not only asked for earmarks for the salt lake olympics in tens of millions of dollars, sought those earmarks, and used them. and he did as the governor of massachusetts, $300 million. $400 million. what happened, there was abuse. when abuse happened, i said we should stop the earmarking process. but i did say there were good earmarks and bad earmarks. >> i would put a ban on earmarks. i think it opens the door excessive spending. spending on projects that don't need to be done. there are a lot of projects that have been voted for. you voted for the bridge to nowhere. while i was fighting to save the olympics, you were fighting to save the bridge to nowhere. >> they are trying to get the

bob, thank you very much for that. have a great afternoon. >> thanks. you too. >> sue, back to you. >> thank you, simon.ittle more than two hours to go in the trading day. charts of the day up next. the other office devices? they don't get me. they're all like, "hey, brother, doesn't it bother you that no one notices you?" and i'm like, "doesn't it bother you you're not reliable?" and they say, "shut up!" and i'm like, "you shut up." in business, it's all about reliability. 'cause these guys aren't just hitting "print." they're hitting "dream." so that's what i do. i print dreams, baby. [whispering] big dreams.  so -- tell me again what happened. i was downstairs making coffee, and we heard it. it just came crashing through the roof, out of nowhere. what is it? it's our ira. any idea what coulda caused this? maybe. i just sorta threw a little money here, a little money there. and i loaded up on something my dentist told me was hot. yeah. ♪ >>> take a look at where we are on the markets at the moment. if the nasdaq closes above 2873, that will be an 11-year high tonight. if that were to happe

simon peter said. it's right there. >> hello, everyone. i'm dana perino along with kimberly guilfoyle, bob beckel. this is "the five." we begin tonight with that -- sorry. i'm so excited to get started. we'll begin tonight with that major reversal by the susan g. komen foundation. three days it spark add fire storm after it announced it was taking back its support of planned parenthood. they apologized for the decision in the wake of overwhelming pressure from planned parenthood and its allies, the komen foundation now says the funding will continue. this started three days ago and you could sort of see the fire storm building and the komen foundation is a private charity. they raise money for breast cancer research. they coo it all over the world. it's a private organization. they've given some of its money to planned parenthood. they were going to take it back because they said planned parenthood wasn't doing enough of the breast cancer work they shut it should be doing to fulfill its mission. then the fire storm erupted and one of our old friends, nancy pelosi, think this is is a big win for pl

. >> simon, thank you very much. here with bob pisani on the floor. about what's going to happen in greece. >> i know there's a groundhog day to all of this. simon had a good point. there is a sense that we are moving towards some kind of danumont. a lot of traders feel that merkel, angela merkel, the chancellor of germany, is getting more comfortable with the possibility of a greek default. look how tough she's been. digging in her heels. no money unless we get a clear deal on the austerity plan. all the leadership has to sign off on it. last week she floated a trial balloon about having the eu take over the greek budget. that went over look a lead balloon over in athens. the point of traders bringing this up is, she wouldn't be holding the stance if she hadn't had the calculated decision that there is a higher probability that the greeks might simply reject this. maybe it's as high as 40%, which is a shockingly high percentage. she's also calculating this right now. a lot of traders feel she's come to the conclusion that the markets have held up ver

simon, simon -- i never even heard of de la rue prior to bob's report right there.n for several weeks. >> thank you. correct. >> i know, i am not making the argument that that is going to happen. i'm pointing things out. two things quickly, two companies very negative comments today, goodyear tire, they're a very good company to watch. very globally diversified. all over the world they sell tires. there was a disappointing comment from them. they have not seen big rebounds. the other is in masco and the building materials group. here's a company that sells primarily in the united states, primarily housing. it's a great company to watch for the housing industry, plumbing and cabinets and paint and their commentary was disappointing even though they said they were cautiously optimistic. the numbers still are not there supporting a housing notable housing turnaround. >> should we get santelli's take on this? >> go right ahead. >> de la rue, buy, sell or hold? >> you know, listen, we know, we all know, that there's a lot of foreclosures that have been in a bottleneck wh

simon on "power lunch." >> we'll see you too. thanks. let's get to the trading floors and find out what's moving. bobi joins us once again from the nyse. >> one big market leader. it's this day, it's this week, it's this year and that's the technology group. look at how the major sectors are doing on the week. tech the big leadership stock group. energy up a little bit. financials and materials were the leaders for the year going into this week, but they've kind of pulled back a little bit of rotation going on. people are very excited about technology stocks. techs are on fire. be a little careful about this. there's the s&p technology index up about 12%. the key point here is that apple is a huge way to get any technology index. in fact, it's about 15% of the nasdaq 100. and it's apple that is dragging all of these tech indexes to the upside. one trader said that overall earnings for the tech group would be negative if it wasn't for apple. there's apple, of course, up something like 20% on the year. that's a very important consideration. finally, on the home builders i keep getting asked about that.

. >> simon, don't go too far. i'm here with bob pisani.out that time yesterday some officials from the greek finance minute have i saistry sy from a deal. >> and bill murray should have rang the opening bell for groundhog day. and i want to you note that everything is slippery. everybody is moving. first the private debt negotiations were a moving target. how much the haircut was going to be. now the bailout money is a moving target. now as simon noted it's not $130 billion. it's starting to slip. it's made clear that negotiating for maybe more money. everything just kind of slipping and moving because the greeks do not know what their gdp target will be. they don't know how much money they're going to need because they don't have a hand around their finances. that's the reason the germans have been wanting to be very active. one of the analysts this morning said a lot of the money is moving in to the black economy. and so the greek government can't get its arms on how big its oecwn economy is. >> can i explain why it's taking so long? rat

. >> bob, i want to get to you on the markets in a second. but simonconcerned, so many people tell me daily that at the end of the day, if you just dumb it down to the simple facts, and you hit both of them, its wh's what ger wants and whether an orderly or disorderly default. everything else is interesting and informative, but at the end of the day for hose that are catching and trying to understand what are the pivotal ept events, it's those two. >> the germans may have pushed it so far that they will lose support around the rest of europe. >> then all the viewer needs to know as it results to their own portfolio is what will that then, whatever happens in the german election, is it disorderly or orderly default. >> in the french election. >> no, if the french election has a result in terms of sentiment in germany -- >> it would change the french president and he wouldn't be this bed with merkel because he said he wants to renegotiate -- >> once they get elected, they tend to change some of the things they say. watch what happens in this country. bob

simon. it'll come back. it'll probably come back. >> maybe we can get the two guys celebrating steve jobs' birthday to come celebrate dow 13,000. >> dancers gyrating to boblevels. >> is the s&p the actual statistically relevant index? >> let's look at the breadth. here at the nyse, advancers or outpacing decliners. >> they are, indeed. >> 5-4. over at the nasdaq -- let's just check on what's happening there as we head towards the weekend. decliners there are in greater number than the advancers. >> yes, they are. >> astute observation, simon. >> jc penney's fourth quarter operating profits beat wall street forecasts. ceo ron johnson moves forward with his strategy to remake the company. gap also beat the street in the fourth quarter but profits fell 40% on heavy discounting. joining us on the cnbc news line, jeff kleinfeldter, analyst with piper jaffray. are there glimmers of hope, at least, from the results and/or from the conference call? >> yeah. it's definitely too early to judge the strategy. it's going to take not only serl additional months but probably several quarters until we have a firm grasp on the success of the strategy. however, you know,

he benefitted because rick santorum, roger simon had this great line this morning that sounds like rick santorum went to the bobe school of debating trying to figure out how you can talk in the most convoluted senatese you can. >> byron york last night said that this was a very bad night for the republican party. very depressing debate. wouldn't you agree? >> yeah, i think overall the big problem is that they're all kind of limping across the finish line, and this long dragged out primary is crippling the whole field making obama look a lot strong for the general election. >> i keep thinking, it's amazing to me, republican governor said yesterday, who was the genius that thought in a year when we were running against an incumbent president it was a good idea to elongate this process and guarantee the thing was going to go on for longer? it's not a dynamic that works well. >> yeah. >> especially given this crop. >> given the crop. >> jim vandehei, did you put this blog up on politico? >> did i myself put it up? >> no, did you it up -- >> well, if joe gets it filed on time -- i think i'm going to have to go back
