Got $3,000? 5 of the Safest Stocks to Buy for 2023
As we hit the homestretch of 2022, the realization is setting in that this year hasn't gone as investors had planned. The major stock indexes are set to close with their worst performance in more than a decade, while the bond market is tracking its worst year on record. Except for energy stocks, there simply haven't been many positives in 2022.
But there's a silver lining for investors: Every major decline in the broad-market indexes has eventually given way to a bull market rally that erases those losses. Effectively, every bear market is a surefire opportunity for long-term-minded investors to pounce on great companies at a bargain price.
