The traders of CNBC's "Fast Money" rarely disappoint viewers when it comes to new trading and investment ideas. The crew has made some outstanding calls in the market this year -- and, at times, some real stinkers. Whether the gang is right or wrong on its market calls, it offers up transparency and accountability to "Fast Money" viewers. That's the type of integrity that every market player should look for when considering the opinion of a Wall Street professional.

The gang recently highlighted trading ideas that play off unusual options activity, such as Apple(AAPL Quote - Cramer on AAPL - Stock Picks); chart patterns for the brokerage stocks, including Charles Schwab(SCHW Quote - Cramer on SCHW - Stock Picks); and medical device stocks, such as Stryker(SYK Quote - Cramer on SYK - Stock Picks). Here are some highlights from over the past week as aggregated from the show.
