The traders of CNBC's "Fast Money" work to offer viewers the right information needed to attack the markets with confidence on a daily basis. The crew looks for news that can lead to a profitable trend for a specific stock or an entire sector.

The gang recently highlighted trading ideas that play off robotic surgery and falling oil prices. Here are some highlights from over the past week as aggregated from the show.

Fast Money's Energy Stock Picks for the Future: The future could hold some big advances for the energy sector. On Tuesday's "Fast Money" show, Guy Adami told viewers: "Check out Hexcel HXL. They manufacture the composites to make the blades on the wind turbines longer." Fast Money's Energy Stock Picks for the Future include Canadian Solar CSIQ and AES AES among others.

Fast Money's China Earthquake Stock Picks: A major earthquake hit China this week, and on Monday's "Fast Money" show, Tim Seymour told viewers: "The quake posed another challenge to a government already grappling with discontent over high inflation, as well as trying to prepare for the Beijing Olympics this August. If you want to play China, be selective. I recommend the Internet plays." Fast Money's China Earthquake Stock Picks include Baidu BIDU among others.

Fast Money's Falling Oil Price Trades: The traders also spoke on Monday's show with John Roque, a technical analyst at Natexis Bleichroeder, on what he would trade if the oil run ends. Roque told viewers: "Although many investors recommend moving to early-cycle stocks, I don't think that's the right way to play it. I recommend sticking with leadership groups, which are commodities." Fast Money's Falling Oil Price Trades include DryShips DRYS and El Paso EP among others.
