Have $2,000? Consider Buying These 2 Top Coronavirus Stocks

Just because we are in a recession doesn't mean it's a bad time to invest in stocks. After all, buying shares of great companies -- and holding these shares for long periods -- remains one of the best ways to accumulate wealth. Of course, before putting your money in the stock market, it's essential to ensure that you have enough saved for a rainy day. In case you do, and if you still have $2,000 lying around, here are two stocks that could be great long-term picks: Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE).

Both of these healthcare giants have been involved in the fight against COVID-19. And even beyond their coronavirus-related efforts, there are great reasons to invest in them.
