2 Unstoppable Stocks to Buy No Matter What Happens in the Second Half of the Year

Nearly halfway into 2021, a lot has happened in the investing world. We witnessed an epic short squeeze, the continued rise of cryptocurrencies, and much else besides. The market has been volatile throughout, and fears that we are heading for a downturn -- fueled in part by inflation concerns -- are still around.

Despite all this noise, it's essential to remember one of the golden rules of investing: Buying and holding shares of great companies for a long time generally leads to great returns. Of course, no one knows what the second half of the year holds, but no matter what happens, here are two excellent companies that are worth buying and holding through the next six months and beyond: Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE).
