5 trades ahead of the election

The "Fast Money" traders looked for opportunities in the market as U.S. equities fell amid election jitters.

The CBOE Volatility Index, also known as the "fear index," hit a high of 20.43 on Tuesday, its highest level since Sept. 12.

Trader Pete Najarian said he "loves the financials" but is waiting for a pullback.

Trader Karen Finerman said United Rentals looks attractive right now. The stock fell more than 3 percent on Tuesday.

Trader Guy Adami said Honeywell is an interesting stock that he is keeping an eye on, especially if it breaks past $110 a share.
