The Fast Money Misfires – Friday May 23rd

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

Guy Adami

On May 6th the Negotiator recommended a transport play. At the time he said, “FedEx is at its highest levels since December. I think FedEx sets up great for the second half."

Unfortunately the Negotiator is going nowhere fast. With oil surging, shares of FedEx are down 11%.

I’ve been dead wrong on this stock, admits Guy Adami.

Tim Seymour

On May 12th the Ambassador hoisted the sails on a shipping stock. At the time he said, "I really like Genco . They’re growing revenue by 40%."

Although it had a huge run this shipping stock has been sinking lately. Genco is down 17% since Tim's call.

I’d buy it on the dip, says Tim Seymour.

Jon Najarian

On April 28th the Monster suggested building a position in sink and cabinet maker Masco ahead of its profit report. At the time he said, "The stock looks like it's ready to break to the upside. I am long."

Sadly, this housing play was not on firm foundation. Shares are 9% lower since Najarian’s call.

Just get out of this stock, Najarian now advises.

Jeff Macke

On May 13th the Lone Wolf suggested playing a toymaker. At the time he said, “I like Hasbro because we talked to the Hasbro CEO, and he said he didn’t need Iron Man to be a hit. So this is found money for them.”

Turns out Macke didn’t win this game. Shares of Hasbro are down 7% since his call.

I don’t think people are going to stop buying toys, Macke says. But it’s a long-term trade and I'm talking my book.
