U.S. stocks suffered through a rough Friday. The three major indexes all shed more than 1 percent as a strong February jobs report heightened speculation that a Federal Reserve interest rate hike could come soon.
On a down day for markets, CNBC "Fast Money" traders took sides on some big-name stocks.
- Amazon or Alibaba?
The huge e-commerce companies have moved in opposite directions this year. Amazon has climbed about 22 percent year-to-date, while Alibaba has shed about 19 percent.

Amazon has enjoyed "a good run" but Alibaba makes a better value play, said trader Brian Kelly. Investors are "running scared" from Alibaba, but that should provide more reason to buy in at a lower price, said trader Tim Seymour, who is long in the stock.
Trader Pete Najarian, who also owns Alibaba, said he'd "almost rather be in Amazon."
- Nike or Foot Locker?
Sports retailer Foot Locker benefits from Nike and Under Armour's strength, Najarian said. At a Friday close of around $60 per share, versus Nike's $97 per share, Foot Locker looks more appealing, he said.
"From a valuation perspective, I would actually go back toward Foot Locker," Najarian said.
The comparison is "apples and oranges," Seymour said. He already has a long stake in Nike, but said "I certainly wouldn't be short Foot Locker."
Trader Dan Nathan would hesitate to buy Nike because of its exposure to a strong dollar. However, he would look to pick it up if it slid in the near future.
- Tesla or Twitter?
Traders took a bearish tone on Tesla Motors.
"If you think this market today was scary, you get out of Tesla," Seymour said.

Twitter makes a stronger play as it "has a much better chance of making money," Kelly said. Nathan noted that he has a long stake in Twitter only because he believes Google may buy it down the road.
