'Fast Money Halftime Report' Picks For August 5: Deere, Moderna And More

On CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report," Brenda Vingiello said that Waste Management, Inc. WM is an uniquely positioned company. It's an essential service, but it's also poised to participate in economic recovery when volume starts to recover and Vingiello started to see that happening. She is a buyer of the stock.

Stephen Weiss wants to buy Moderna Inc MRNA. He said the stock is down because the company has not yet received government money for the COVID-19 vaccine. He decided to add to his long position because he likes the news for its CMV vaccine for a disease that can cause birth defects. It could be a $5 billion product.

Sarat Sethi believes the energy stocks are going to catch a bid when all the indexes move higher. He wants to buy Chevron Corporation CVX.

Joe Terranova is bullish on Deere & Company DE. He noticed that it's breaking out on the upside.
