[laughter] we ran through various simulations and will be found out that if it was the smaller the company come the more likely it would work. it is a lot harder to have ibm and some company like a box company. >> host: demesne strategy that traders use, to make money off this topic is going to fall? >> guest: yes, that's right. in other words, things that are already going wrong. you know, he has a huge following. people really like him. he makes stocks look like a lot of fun. i watched the show and i have to turn it off in about 30 30 seconds. >> host: i often get the same feeling. >> guest: apparently this is quite entertaining. and he can make it seem very down to earth and fun. but the average person is not going to monitor the stocks the way that they need to. they are not going to do it. people have told me over and over again of investing and, of course, the stock loses money. but if you ask them, a lo

jim cramer, back to you. >> thank you, rick. let's check out the latest news in energy in metals. aron? >> jim, we're looking at oil prices climbing back up after yesterday's slide. and we're watching not only the oil market recovering here, but gasoline futures gaining ground as well. in fact, we're looking at gasoline futures again that are posting because of what we're seeing for the retail price, another gain that right now puts the retail price at the highest levels that we've seen for this time of year. we had an overnight increase of a penny to $3.53 a gallon for the national average. but as mark zandy points out, when we're talking about the economy, it is meaning a lot to consumers. every penny increase in the price of gasoline will cost consumers about $100 million a month. on top of the higher tax bills that a lot of consumers are facing right now, that's going to be a serious debt in their wallet. back to you. >> thanks very much, sharon epperson. did want to talk about a potentially huge deal. i'm not talking about dell, i'm talking about virgin media. it's a company t
