On CNBC's "Fast Money Halftime Report," Richard Saperstein said there is no impact on Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ: COST) and the online grocers from the potential tech regulations. He likes the stock and he sees the stock as Amazon-proof.

Joe Terranova sold Intercontinental Exchange Inc (NYSE: ICE) because he had too much trading revenue exposure from Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE: GS), Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ: NDAQ). He explained that Intercontinental Exchange was losing momentum by every metric versus Nasdaq.

Stephen Weiss believes Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM) is going to report a pretty good quarter next week.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO) reported a fantastic quarter, said Karen Firestone. She sees it as a long-term buy and she would stay with it.

Asked if the recent run of higher-than-expected inflation might mean that the Fed's policy rate is not sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to the Fed's 2% target, Powell said "time will tell."
