The "Fast Money" pros saw glimmers of opportunity Tuesday even as DuPont and Apple led stocks lower, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average more than 200 points lower and the S&P 500 down more than 20 points.
"We actually bought a little bit of hedge back," Karen Finerman of Metropolitan Capital Advisors said, adding that she added to her Macy's holdings.
RiskReversal's Dan Nathan noted that it wasn't just earnings, as European concerns, declining oil prices and global growth concerns all helped to push stocks lower.
"It all seemed to kind of crescendo," he said.
Nathan played the day by adding spreads to his November puts in order to reduce his cost basis.
"I still think we have lower lows," he added.
The S&P 500 broke "significant support around 1,430," noted EmergingMoney.com's Tim Seymour.
"I think there are sectors people have no conviction on," he said. "More will come off."
OptionMonster.com's Pete Najarian saw plenty opportunity, jumping into Petrobras.
But he cautioned against making decisions on price alone.
"You look for reasons," he said. "Is it going down with the herd?"
