  • TIE
    Titanium Metals C
  • $7.44
  • -11.32%
  • $8.72

Unusual options action in Titanium Metals (TIE) suggests to Pete Najarian this stock could soon move higher. As planes need to get lighter I think titanium demand will increase, says Tim Seymour. I like this stock.

  • $17.33

Najarian said that Nokia (NOK) will do well as it penetrates the U.S. market. Options action in the June 28 calls suggests this stock could go higher.

  • +
  • GME
    Gamestop Corp
  • $29.09
  • -3.71%
  • $30.57

Najarian pointed out heavy call activity in GameStop (GME). The options expire soon, he said, so someone is expecting the stock to climb fast. Macke said he doubts GameStop will pop. He recommended viewers get out of GameStop, because the cycle in video games has already peaked

People owning GME also tend to own: AAPLPGSLBBRCDCEBAYEMC

  • HPQ
    Hewlett Packard C
  • $38.50
  • -3.75%
  • $40.83

Options action suggests to me that Hewlett Packard will continue to climb higher over the next 6 weeks, says Pete Najarian.

People owning HPQ also tend to own: ACASCLPMRKPHISHFLVZAA

TheStreet.com Rating: B What is this?

  • +
  • LEH
    Leh
  • $0.00
  • N/A
  • $N/A

The put buying in Lehman and the XLF exploded on Wednesday, adds Pete Najarian. The financials have a broken wheel and there’s no need to buy this train.

People owning LEH also tend to own: CMECVSDELLEBAYGEGSMCO

TheStreet.com Rating: D What is this?

  • +
  • MBI
    M B I A Inc
  • $6.40
  • -19.50%
  • $8.11

I’d still recommend being short MBIA (MBI) and Washington Mutual (WM) because the options action suggests these stocks could still move lower.

People owning MBI also tend to own: AAAMGNAXPCVXEGLEHDHNZ
