(NYSE:PANW) as some of the top picks in the cyber security space.

“FireEye Inc. (NASDAQ:FEYE) was up really nice in the aftermarket a lot of people maybe have a hunch that International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) might make a bid or someone I still like the stock a lot. […] Palo Alto Networks Inc. (NYSE:PANW) more of a trading vehicle, a lot of this names were red hot they were crashed despite those headlines I think these companies are going to come onboard. It is not only going to be JPMorgan Chase &Co (NYSE:JPM) or the Sony Coro (ADR) (NYSE:SNE)’s, said Mr. Payne.

Penn Financial Group Founder, Matt McCall, on the other end remains bullish on Fortinet Inc. (NYSE:FTNT) on the fact that the company has no debt at the back of enjoying a decent revenue growth despite being a little bit expensive.
