There are few reasons to consider Facebook a buy-and-hold stock, “Fast Money” pro Joe Terranova said Thursday.
“The argument right now for Facebook is that it is now a buy-and-hold stock. It’s a long-term investment, and I completely disagree with that,” he said.
Terranova offered IBM or a consumer staples name as an example of a long-term hold, but not the social media giant.
“There’s no reliable, dependable earnings from Facebook that warrants it being a long-term investment. The sales growth trajectory is peaked. It peaked in middle of 2011,” he said.

Terranova said CEO Mark Zuckerberg has to show leadership.
“He’s got to come out from under the hoodie,” he said. “He’s either got to be a CEO, or they’ve got to go find one.”
