Sometimes a stock is hot and other time it just burns. Following are the Fast Money misfires.

Pete Najarian

On Friday June 6^th the Pit Boss set sail for another shipping stock. At the time he said, “Buy Excel Maritime

[EXM  Loading...      ()   ]. Their shipping rates just hit a new record at $230 and change, giddy up!”

Unfortunately investors jumped ship and shares tumbled. Since Najarian’s buy recommendation they’re down 29%.

I own this stock and will continue to do so, Najarian says. I think it’s going higher.

Karen Finerman

On Thursday June 6^th the Chairwoman suggested shorting a bulk retailer. At the time she said, “Big Lots

[BIG  Loading...      ()   ] took lots of insider selling, I wonder what they know?”

Unfortunately for Finerman, no one seems to know anything. Shares of this discount retailer climbed 10% since her short sell recommendation.

I’ve seen yet more insider selling, she reveals, I’m sticking with this trade.

Guy Adami

On May 29^th the Negotiator thought shares of a Big Pharma name were about to get a shot in the arm. At the time he said, "The Merck

[MRK  Loading...      ()   ] trade to me sets up really easy now. Valuation wise, it seems cheap. Buy Merck and stop out below $36.50.”

Sadly, since his buy recommendation investors have seen nothing but pain. The stock is down 9%.

I think there will be a time to buy this stock, Adami says, but it’s not yet.

Jeff Macke

On June 10^th the Lone Wolf recommended steering clear of Manny, Moe & Jack. At the time he said, “Pep Boys

[PBY  Loading...      ()   ] - I'm not buying a name like this, up 10%. Maybe you can buy it on dips but you'll have plenty of time because it'll come back to ya.”

Alas, the Pep Boys are popping -- up 10% since Macke said to get out.

I said that 3 days ago, says Jeff Macke. Wait, it will come down.
