Got $1,000? Here Are 2 Stocks to Buy

No matter how long you've been investing, market corrections are never fun to live through. While the S&P 500 index is down 14.5% from its previous high, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is officially in bear market territory, down more than 25% at the time of this writing.

But if you look at any long-term chart of these indexes, you'll notice that the occasional dips are always followed by much longer periods of sustained returns. In fact, the current market correction is only a tiny blip in the context of multiple decades' worth of returns.
