6 stocks to buy in a chaotic market

Amid a stunning market reversal into Tuesday's close, Facebook held firm in positive territory.

If China-related fears continue to leave investors scratching their heads, the social media network's core business will remain resilient, said trader Tim Seymour.

"Facebook is giving you growth that's not reliant on China," he said after the stock closed 1.1 percent higher.

The Dow Jones industrial average and closed about 1.3 percent lower Tuesday after an earlier rally, their biggest negative reversal since October 2008. Apple—which Seymour called a "market proxy stock"—climbed as much as 7 percent before ending the day up 0.6 percent.

Apple can be traded if it approaches $94 per share, he said. The stock—which Seymour owns—closed just below $104 Tuesday.

Trader Karen Finerman looked to another blue chip, JPMorgan Chase to ride out volatility. The stock closed Tuesday about half a percent lower.

Finerman said she added to her stake in the bank Monday. She highlighted its dividend yield of almost 3 percent and price-to-earnings ratio of about 10.

Southern could also serve as a "safe" play, trader Steve Grasso added. It fell about 2.5 percent Tuesday but looks appealing at that price as it has a dividend yield of about 5 percent, he said.
