2 Recession-Ready Stocks to Buy Right Now

The U.S. has been in recession since February, and how long it will last is uncertain, likely depending on when a COVID-19 vaccine or treatment is ready for the public. Predictions range from an end this year to a double-dip scenario that stretches into 2021. While the stock market has surged back from its March lows to regain its losses, some sectors have become overvalued, and we have seen some of this snap back in the technology sector.
