Have $3,000? Invest It Into These Surefire Winners
Over the past 10 weeks, investors have had their resolve, as well as their investment theses, tested like never before. The proliferation of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has completely turned the U.S. economy on its head, abruptly ending the longest economic expansion in U.S. history. In the process, nonessential businesses across much of the country have been shuttered, and at least 30 million Americans have lost their jobs.
While the financial and economic impacts of COVID-19 have been jaw-droppingly bad, there's a bit of good news among all of this -- namely, every single stock market correction and bear market in history has proved to be a buying opportunity for patient investors. While it's impossible to know what the market is going to do next week or even a year from now, there hasn't been a rolling 20-year period in history where the benchmark S&P 500 didn't deliver a positive average annual return (inclusive of dividends) to investors.
In other words, there's no better time to go shopping than during bear markets.
