Red Hat popped .

The trade: I think all pharma has had a terrific run. Now it’s time to take profits, says Steve Cortes.


Sprint popped .
The catalyst: According to published reports, Sprint is opening to selling a 4G LTE version of Apple's iPhone, whenever Apple builds a phone running on the latest cellular technology.
The trade: I think they have a great line coming out and think they will benefit in the near term, says Steve Grasso.

Walgreens dropped .
