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) - Get Report
; chart patterns for the brokerage stocks, including
Charles Schwab
(SCHW) - Get Report
; and medical device stocks, such as
Stryker
(SYK) - Get Report
. Here are some highlights from over the past week as aggregated from the show.
