I’ve got my eye on Hess (HES) for options action, adds Pete Najarian. This stock really reacted violently to Monday's move in oil

For a trade I’d look at Smithfield (SFD) but not for swine flu – as a possible takeover target, said Guy Adami. There’s been a lot of options action in Smithfield, adds Pete Najarian. Adami might be onto something.
