4 Virtually Flawless Stocks to Buy if the Market Crashes
If you weren't sure you had the fortitude to be a long-term investor, 2020 has answered that question. The benchmark S&P 500 lost more than a third of its value in roughly one month, then recouped everything it lost (and then some) in the subsequent five-month period. Volatility has been far above historic norms this year -- and it may not be over just yet.
This past week, investors were given a stark reminder that stocks can and do go down. Stock market crashes and corrections are far more common than most investors realize, with 10% moves lower in the S&P 500 occurring, on average, every 1.84 years since 1950.
