thought we had the data or where there had been sufficient testing we said we can make very concrete, granular, specific recommendations. for example, reform universal service. as to the idea you had, it's actually not a recommendation of the plan. what we were saying was we need to revise the way we think about how we provide broadband to low-income individuals. and there are various programs such as the so-called life link program where we need to run some pilots horde to determine how -- in order to determine how best to do it for broadband. as we're thinking about that, one should think about whether it's a spectrum-based approach that might do other kinds of things. but we in no way had sufficient data to be able to make that a concrete recommendation. so, and i think there is a very valid question about whether that business model would work. again, we want to be both visionary and practical. we were raising that as something that ought to be considered alongside other, other things that we could more confidently recommend. >> host: blair levin, why in the broadband plan proposal do you

>> see, i have never been that granular with this moving average indicator. don't want to do minute to minute because i don't want to encourage day trading. i like to look at it over the course of multiweeks. there are other people who would be better answering that question than i do because i shy away from that minute to minute and focus much more on the dailies. know what your indicator measures. draw correlations. but don't be afraid to rip up the indicators, particularly because so many of them are no longer working. stay with cramer. >>> tonight as your investing coach someone with three decades of stock experience who isn't trying to sell you anything like a broker might be, who doesn't want your money like an investment adviser, don't want the commission, don't want the merge, i want to teach you how to learn. okay. sounds silly. but when you stop trying to learn about the market, you lose your edge and it becomes a whole lot harder to make money or even just trying not to lose it. so my next rule is a lesson i came to very late. something i didn't tr

building a system of analysis matching up from events in the world from information with a fine granular type of way and their privacy protection debris in crypt the data. but two things were found that the privacy research was abandoned. all the other analysis and information collection ideas and the stuff that terrified people frankly kept going with that and officials determine the privacy protection was too costly, too cumbersome and too controversial. that some day would find out you're interested in searching high interest then why would you need to do that in the first place? so people would try to abandon it. as far as the sophisticated analysis the cutting edge connecting the dots they did not seem so interested. that analysis or sophistication was trumped by an almost insatiable need to collect information on as many people as they could. and as they got to the point* they were collecting so much in permission with fed telecom networks that i write about in the book, they could not look at it in realtime but had to stick at it in a database and look at it later because it was c

why are you not going to that kind of bring clarity -- kind of granularity? guest: if you are a student of the history of censuses, and it is hard not to become a student if you have my job, this discussion has gone on in this country about race and ethnicity measurement in the census every decade. it is something that is uniquely american. i think it is partly because we are constantly dynamically changing racial and ethnic composition is that we talk about this. let me get your questions exactly. the process by which these questions are constructed is one that is renewed every decade. indeed, there is a process by which we post the census -- we're going to be paying a lot of attention to the right ins. we will pay attention to what people wrote in for race and ethnicity that is not part of the check box categories. there is an attempt to have as check boxes those groups that are most prevalent in the country. there is a premium in space on this little form. you could imagine thousands of check boxes for every subgroup. we cannot do that. this is an attempt

matching up what looked like events in the real world from a future of information doing it in a fine granular weight and secondly producing and encrypting the data. but nsa actually did when they took over this program. two things, when a privacy research was abandoned. all of the other data mining and pattern analysis and information collection ideas for stuff that really terrify people kept going without but officials determine the privacy connection was too costly, too cumbersome and frankly too controversial. abc becomes a sort of third rail. i think the attitude was that if somebody were to find out that you are interested in researching very high privacy question would be way too much in the first place? the people just really a bandit and said they away from it. as far as the sophisticated kind of analysis, the sort of cutting-edge connecting the dots, nsa didn't seem so interested in that. in fact, that kind of analysis, that sophistication was trumped by an almost insatiable and compulsive need to collect information on as many people and those as great a volume as they possibly coul

i don't follow the sector closely, so i don't have granular information on specifically where is theongest point of recovery in the sector. >> okay. >> matt, what about the stocks in particular when you're looking at these names that have surged so much? they've already obviously surged in anticipation of the gain that we've seen, so, is there any real up side left, particularly given the that fact that there doesn't appear to be any relief on the fuel front? >> yeah, fuel and oil prices are going to be a headwind for them, certainly. you know, there is more price recovery out there, like i mentioned, you know, even after this rebound that, you know, depending on who you're talking to, is better than expected. there's still a lot of room to get to where we were just a couple of years ago. the question is what is that trajectory of that recovery going to be? is it going to be a nice, steep, steady climb back to 2005 or 2006 levels or is it going to take many years to get there? generally, it's a lot easier to cut prices in a downturn than it is to exhibit pricing power and raise them,
