- The coronavirus pandemic is a crisis that's "worse than the Great Depression," but investors should take a "leap of faith" and invest in stocks that would benefit from the reopening of the US economy, Tom Lee said in a CNBC interview on Friday.
- Lee did not waver on his bullish call on stocks, but did say that in the short term, stocks are overbought and the market needs to digest its recent gains.
- While a spike in coronavirus cases in some states is a valid concern, Lee is constructive on the fact that individual states can open safely, pointing to states like New York and New Jersey, among others.
- Lee said he expects a "binary reaction" in the markets if there is a breakthrough in a COVID-19 vaccine or even cure, and the stocks that stand to perform the best if that happens are the "reopening stocks" like airlines, casinos, and hotels.
- "The best-performing stocks after the dot-com crash were the internet names, because the ones that survived were structurally long-term winners," Lee said, in defense of why he is bullish on the stocks.
