] to acquire Diedrich Coffee. In fact, the value of the November deals – at 41.5 billion -- has already surpassed the total for October which was $29.8 billion.
Considering November is off to a strong start – which firms should be on your radar? We asked Gary Kaminsky, former Neuberger Berman managing director.

Kaminsky's Rationale
The message I took away from Stanley / Black & Decker deal is two fold: it’s affirmation that the worst is over or they wouldn’t have done the deal. And it’s also affirmation that the recovery will be a slow recovery. These two companies are coming together not just for cost savings but to have more power attracting a weak consumer.
So going forward, I asked myself where there may be a similar strategic alliance. Because I think there will probably be pricing pressure in the space, you could see the same kind of merger in consumer goods.
As a result I think the names listed above could either get together or they could be acquired by P&G [PG

].
Out of that list, I like CHD, adds Guy Adami.
