Got $3,000? These 3 Stocks Are Screaming Buys During the Market Sell-Off

You might not like what I'm about to say, but it's the truth: Stock market crashes and corrections are par for the course when investing on Wall Street.

Since the beginning of 1950, the benchmark S&P 500 has undergone 39 separate corrections totaling at least 10%. That's a double-digit decline, on average, every 1.85 years. But excluding the ongoing correction, each of the previous 38 downturns were eventually wiped away by a bull market rally. In other words, if you buy great stocks and hang on to them for the long haul, sell-offs represent the perfect opportunity to put your money to work.
