'Halftime Report' Traders Advise Viewers On Greenbrier Companies, Exelon And More

On CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report," Stephen Weiss said Brookfield Renewable Partners LP BEP is the future. The company is signing long term agreements and Weiss would rather own this stock than Chevron Corporation CVX.

Jim Lebenthal said Greenbrier Companies Inc GBX is a great stock for the long term, but he sees it as a hold in the short term. Lebenthal advised viewers with a long position to hold the stock. Investors that don't own the stock should wait for a pullback, thinks Lebenthal.

Jenny Harrington sees Exelon Corporation EXC as a great investment. She likes its 3.9% dividend yield. She wishes she owned it, but she doesn't.

Michael Farr owns Abbott Laboratories ABT and Medtronic PLC MDT, but he thinks they are kind of expensive. Abbott Labs is the best in class, believes Farr. He also owns Becton Dickinson and Co BDX and he has just doubled his position in the stock. He thinks Becton Dickinson is a better buy than Abbott Labs and Medtronic.
