Have $2,000? 2 Market Crash-Ready Stocks to Buy
It's a myth that you need to be rich to be able to invest. The ability to buy just one share of any stock means you can easily gain exposure to some of the best companies in the world with minimal capital. The beauty of investing is that you can pace your purchases and invest at regular intervals: If you're in the market for the long term, there's no major rush to deploy your money.
If you have $2,000 to spare, you should consider parking it in well-run businesses that suffer from weak near-term sentiment but are still fundamentally strong. The important thing to remember is to focus on how the business is doing and to concentrate your search on stocks with strong franchises, a great track record of growth, and tailwinds that can help to grow their revenue and net income well into the future. When a crash inevitably comes along, you can stand ready to swoop in to buy such stocks.
