CNBC's Fast Money Recap Oct. 8th

Technology
Najarian noted that Hewlett- Packard (HPQ) hit a 52-week high Monday and Research In Motion (RIMM), IBM (IBM) and VMware (VMW) all traded higher. Stacey Gilbert of Susquehanna Financial Group prefers Google (GOOG) whose call options are very active on the name. Najarian agreed and mentioned the Google December $750 calls were active on Monday. Other option notes: Najarian noticed some very unusual options activity in TJX Companies (TJX) on Monday, seeing 10,000 October $30 calls trade and also stepped-up activity in the November $30 calls. Macke predicts a big winner with TJX.
Keith O'Malley, a trader with Hold Brothers, came on the show to discuss his trading ideas. He declares that the Fed is done cutting interest rates. He likes Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Fluor Corp (FLR).
CEO's
Gasparino joined the show again to discuss his thoughts on CEOs who could lose their jobs. Gasparino gave out odds for how likely Chuck Prince, Jimmy Cayne and Stan O'Neal will lose their jobs. Prince is CEO of Citigroup (C), Cayne runs Bear Stearns (BSC) and O'Neal heads up Merrill Lynch (MER). He gave Prince 2-1 odds, Cayne 6-1 and O'Neal 10-1. Gasparino also said that John Thain, CEO of NYSE Euronext (NYX), is a candidate for CEO of Citigroup. CEO of Sprint Nextel (S) Gary Forsee has left the telecommunications firm. Sprint is a takeover stock with Chinese companies being possible buyers.
Word on the Street
Yum! Brands (YUM) traded higher Monday. Macke: 41% of sales came from China and recommends investors to buy the stock here.

CTC Media (CTCM), Central European Media (CETV) and Cemex (CX). Seymour found these value names in the emerging markets. Seymour is committed and long CX.
Alcoa (AA): scheduled to report earnings Tuesday after the bell. Gilbert sees better plays in the titanium makers like RTI International (RTI) and Titanium Metals (TIE). Gilbert owns TIE.
