Ear To The Wall: IBM Takeover

EAR TO THE WALL: IBM TAKEOVER?

Cree Inc. [MCD  Loading...      ()   ](CREE) popped on Tuesday on speculation that the firm is a takeover target. How much truth is there to this market rumor?

According to Cannacord Adams analyst Jonathan Dorsheimer, Cree is often a target of takeover talk and he doesn’t think this one is true. Dorsheimer likes Cree long term, but thinks "the shares are overvalued" at the present moment.

Every 2 or 3 months I hear talk that someone is going to takeover this company, adds Pete Najarian. I also don’t think there’s anything here.




Also we've got your FAST MESSAGES!












Raj from Florida

Raj writes, “What’s going on with Citi puts. Volume was especially high. Is Citi tanking?

No, replies Pete Najarian. These aren’t puts that would scare me because they are so deep in the money puts.

---------------------------------

Marcus from Texas

Marcus writes, “Is there any news on the move in Activision [ATVI  Loading...      ()   ]today?”

I don’t think there’s a bid coming for it, replies Jeff Macke. But I do think they’re the best in the space.


---------------------------------

Charles from Florida

Charles writes, “What’s with Tesoro [TSO  Loading...      ()   ] ? Oil’s up it goes down. Oil’s down and it still goes down?”

It’s a tough environment, replies Joe Terranova. Overall I would avoid the refiners.

---------------------------------

Mike from Montana

I know you like Microsoft [MSFT  Loading...      ()   ] , but what will it take for it to move with the rest of tech?

I still think MSFT is headed for $33 and I like being long, replies Guy Adami.
