As the Clear Channel buyout faces collapse, what are the most solid trades in a landscape of shaky deals?

-
PENN
Penn National Gam - $27.63
- -0.61%
- $27.66
The options trading suggests to me that that Fortress Investment Group (FIG) wants to walk away from the deal, speculates Pete Najarian.

-
MATR
Matria Healthcare - $0.00
- 0.00%
- $N/A
That deal looks like it’s going to get done but at a significant discount. The buyer is Inverness Medical (IMA).

-
BCE
B C E Inc - $25.73
- -0.77%
- $25.80
This deal has several months to close, says Karen Finerman. I think it will get done. But I prefer the corporate buyers (such as Microsoft) much better. The proposed buyer is the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

-
BFAM
Bright Horizons F - $0.00
- 0.00%
- $N/A
I think there are some private equity firms that have major issues and this could be one of them, says Pete Najarian. Bain Capital is the proposed buyer.
