Which Tech is Next?
A look at HP's $2.7B deal with 3Com and what the next tech target is, with Jon Najarian.

Following Hewlett-Packard's $2.7 billion acquisition, rivals in the industry will have to respond or face intense competition from the now bigger HP. Companies like IBM and Cisco may be encouraged to make moves and Jon Najarian talks to the other Fast Money traders about what acquisitions may be on the horizon and what the options are saying. Companies like Brocade, Lexmark or Broadcom are all in the mind of traders as possibilities for a takeover in the tech space.

Najarian is also seeing some interesting options action in Palm , which may present some interesting investment opportunities before the end of the year. For the full analysis, check out the video!
