3 No-Brainer Stocks to Buy in a Correction
Stock markets swoon now and then, slightly or severely. We've seen big drops recently, with the Nasdaq down some 20% from its all-time high only a month ago. It has rallied in the past few weeks, as of this writing, but tomorrow may bring a big surge or another plunge. The stock market is simply volatile, more so on some days than others.
What's an investor to do? Well, you should only invest money you won't need for at least five years in the stock market so you can ride out most downturns. (To be more conservative, plan for 10 years to recover, as some recoveries can take a long time.) Beyond that, well -- a stock market crash or correction can be a great time to pick up shares of companies you've always wanted to own -- when their shares are on sale.
