2 Stocks to Buy No Matter What Happens in 2022
The U.S. equity market has been quite volatile in January 2022. Rising omicron cases, sticky inflation, which is expected to result in rate hikes, and now weaker-than-anticipated earnings results for tech stocks have negatively affected investor sentiment. Against this backdrop, CNBC's Jim Cramer expects the S&P 500 to continue to face challenging times even in early February.
While short- to mid-term investors may need to brace themselves for continued rockiness in the market in 2022, those with multiyear investment horizons can use this correction to get their hands on some financially stable and fundamentally resilient stocks at reasonable valuations. Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) are two such picks that have the potential to provide solid returns for retail investors in the long run.
