5 Stocks I Own and Will Add To If the Stock Market Crashes
Occasional stock market meltdowns are inevitable. If you're going to be a stock investor hoping for great long-term gains, you'll have to accept that -- and expect corrections and crashes every few years. A stock market downturn can be unsettling, and it's not fun to suddenly see your holdings worth a lot less than they were worth a few days ago. But downturns aren't all bad.
One wonderful thing about market crashes is that they offer up lots of terrific companies trading at lower, more bargain-like prices. You may be able to snap up some shares of a few companies you've long wanted to own -- and you can also simply add to your positions in companies you already own.
