3 Stocks Worth Buying Before the Next Stock Market Crash
2020 has been, for lack of a better word, bizarre for investors. In the midst of the worst economic downturn in the past century and an ongoing global pandemic, the U.S. stock market has managed to recover the bulk of its losses this year. At recent prices, the S&P 500 Index ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY) is within a percentage point of where it started 2020, and on a total returns basis is back to breakeven.
But ... we are still in the midst of a massive recession, and COVID-19 cases are surging. And even though so far the death toll hasn't approached what we saw at the peak, hospitals -- more specifically ICUs -- are starting to fill up, potentially the writing on the wall that things are going to take a turn for the worse. If that happens, we could see more places roll back the reopenings of businesses where people mingle and personal distancing is difficult, putting a pause on the beginnings of the economic recovery.
