Virtus Investment Partners Chief Market Strategist Joe Terranova and Market Rebellion co-founder Jon Najarian discussed why they are buying Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) Wednesday on CNBC’s “Fast Money Halftime Report.”
Terranova On Tesla: Terranova bought Tesla to capitalize on the momentum trade, he told CNBC.
Terranova expects a “mean reversion performance chase” toward both Tesla and Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) as a result of the recent stabilization of rates, he said.
Over the past week, Tesla and Netflix have outperformed other mega-cap technology stocks, Terranova said. He noted that he has a stop loss put in place at $593.50.
Najarian On Tesla: Najarian owns calls in Tesla and expects the stock to run to at least $700 per share, he said. The recent volatility in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has played a role in the sell-off of Tesla, Najarian added.
He told CNBC Tesla will likely reach “the mid $700s in the not-too-distant future.”
