5 No-Brainer Stocks to Invest $500 In Right Now

Investors may not realize it, but they've borne witness to history. Since bottoming out on March 23, 2020, the benchmark S&P 500 has doubled in value. It's the most robust bounce-back rally from a bear-market bottom Wall Street has ever seen.

Yet, even with the broader market consistently nipping at new all-time highs, value can still be found. The not-so-subtle secret to building wealth in the market is patience. If you're buying stakes in great businesses and planning to hang onto those positions for multiple years, what might look pricey today could turn out to be an amazing value in three, five, or 10 years.

You also don't need a boatload of money to begin or further your trek toward financial freedom. If you have $500 at the ready, which won't be needed to pay bills or cover an emergency, the following five no-brainer stocks would be perfect to invest in right now.
