Stock Pops & Drops
The Fast Money guys take a look at todayâ??s biggest market movers.

Home Depot (HD) popped 3%. Credit Suisse upped the home improvement retailer to "outperform" from "neutral" - saying the stock has hit a bottom. – It’s a long road back for this stock, says Jeff Macke.

American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) popped 8%. The young-adult clothing chain raced higher, despite a reduced price target from Credit Suisse. – Karen Finerman likes this stock.

FTD Group (FTD) popped 18%. The flower delivery network said quarterly profit was 30-cents per share -- analysts had expected 26-cents. – Sell the strength says Jeff Macke.

Biogen (BIIB) popped 2%. Monday afternoon Tysabri, the biotech's treatment for Crohn's Disease, received FDA approval. – I think the stock is cheap, says Guy Adami.

Zagats. The ubiquitous restaurant guide that's become a mini-empire has hired Goldman Sachs to find a buyer. The New York Times estimates it could fetch $200 million.

Sanmina-SCI (SANM) popped 8%. This electronics manufacturer said preliminary EPS met or exceeded analyst expectations. – Forget about this stock, says Pete Najarian.

YRC Worldwide (YRCW) popped 7%. Trucking firms like YRC shifted into high gear, after a sector upgrade from Bear Stearns to "market weight" from "underweight." – They’ve got a lot of debt, says Karen Finerman. I don’t like debt.

Mosaic (MOS) popped 10%. Standard & Poors raised the rating on this seed stock's debt to "BB+" from "BB". – Pete Najarian likes this stock.

Deere & Co. (DE) popped 6%. After the rating on competitor Mosaic's debt was raised, Deere shares received a lift. – I like this stock, says Guy Adami.

DROPS (stocks that slid lower)

Schering Plough (SGP) dropped 8% and Merck (MRK) dropped 1%. It turns out Vytorin, the cholesterol drug made jointly by the two pharma firms, yielded no better results than a cheaper drug that's been on the market longer. – Pete Najarian is speechless.

Washington Mutual (WM) dropped 2%. Shares cooled off as talk of a takeover by JPMorgan died down. – That’s a pop for Washington Mutual says Karen Finerman.

Compuware (CPWR) dropped 13%. The business software company's preliminary earnings fell short of expectations. – Wrong business in the wrong time, says Jeff Macke.

Breast Implants. Merrill Lynch conducted a survey among plastic surgery docs, who say they expect weakness in the breast implant market in 2008...Is this the next big economic indicator?
