3 Stocks to Build Your Portfolio Around

With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, stocks have been hit hard over the last month. Grounding your portfolio with strong companies that will remain relevant long into the future is a good way to weather current (and future) market storms. Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are three companies that consumers use every day, and they make great stocks to build your portfolio around. Even though this trio has trended down with the market, they're all but certain to recover, after which these solid businesses will likely go back to building wealth for shareholders.
