] Rose 4.5% After Hours On Monday After The Coffee House Chain Said Howard Schultz Will Return As CEO And The Company Will Focus On International Growth
This is good news for Starbucks says Jeff Macke. Schultz is a retailing genius. Never bet against a ticked off genius and if a billionaire comes back to work after 8 years – he’s probably ticked off.
You might want to own this stock, now Jeff Macke adds. (That’s a sea change for Macke on this stock. He’s been negative on Starbucks until this news.)

The cholesterol world is quite big but Isis needed a partner and now they have it. This could be a $2 billion drug explains Pete Najarian. If you own this stock, take some profits, he adds. If you don’t own the stock, I think there’s still time to get in.

Celgene (CELG) and Biogen (BIIB) popped on better-than-expected forecasts explains Pete Najarian. But Pfizer (PFE) is one the names investors are focused on because it’s trading at a 10 P/E.

I agree says Jeff Macke. And be careful of Intel (INTC).
I recommend buying Apple (AAPL) late week going into Macworld on Monday says Pete Najarian. This is truly trading off a catalyst.

$200 OIL IN 2008?
The headline: Oil Slides 2.9% Monday After Hitting Record Last Week.
Investors are scared that we’re heading for a recession and that’s why crude moved lower Monday, says Guy Adami.
I think the economy will slow and oil will get even cheaper, says Karen Finerman.
Some investors are buying $200 oil contracts, but those are professional traders who are “buying the wings and selling the meat.” Don’t take that to mean oil is going to $200 anytime soon, explains Pete Najarian.
