Pops & Drops: SanDisk, Northern Trust...
Brazil ETF (EWZ) popped 2%. Investors apparently believe the sell-off triggered by new taxes on foreign investments was overdone. - There was also chatter Brazil may back away from the tax, explains Tim Seymour.

St. Jude Medical (STJ) popped 3%. Although the company reported lower quarterly earnings, investors instead focused on the company’s higher sales as well as comments that suggested long- term goals remained intact.

Cree (CREE) popped 12%. The LED lighting manufacturer posted quarterly earnings and revenue well above Wall Street expectations and forecast strong results going forward.

Tupperware (TUP) popped 8%. The container maker reported better-than-expected earnings largely due to cost cuts and strength in emerging markets; they also raised full-year outlook.

DROPS (stocks that slid lower)

Northern Trust (NTRS) dropped 6%. Although the firm swung to a profit in the third quarter the results fell short of analysts' expectations. - I think this stock goes lower, speculates Guy Adami.

Altria (MO) dropped 3%. The company posted lower-than-expected quarterly sales due to increased prices related to a federal cigarette tax increase and because customers cut inventories. - I'm a buyer above $18.72, says Joe Terranova.

Continental Airlines (CAL) dropped 13%. Although this airline turned a profit, it also said going forward fares will likely remain challenged.
