His argument is pretty solid. The electronics gear store having the best holiday season is Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY), and the gear that Best Buy is selling the most of Ultra HD TVs, something that RadioShack does not offer. Another top seller is video games, something else that RadioShack does not sell.

RadioShack’s shares traded up more than 11% about half an hour before noon on Tuesday, at $0.39 a share in a 52-week range of $$0.30 to $2.79.
