Amid the blitz of quarterly earnings reports next week, Joe Terranova of Virtus Investment Partners said Friday that he will be watching one stock.
"You're really going to need some solid performance from technologies, but in particular, you're going to get an early read on consumer discretionary, which I view as highly important to further appreciation in the S&P," he said on "Fast Money."
Terranova said the stock to watch was Coach.
Some of the companies reporting quarterly earnings next week include Apple, McDonald's, Honeywell, Procter & Gamble and Microsoft.
Stephen Weiss of Short Hills Capital, who liked Verizon, was clear about what he was doing.
"Here's the trade. Here's what you've got to do: Get rid of your defensive holdings and go with beta," he said. "Time to play offense, time to put on risk."
