Hold These Stocks If You're Worried About the Market Sell-Off
People with a lot of their net worth in the stock market inevitably get uncomfortable when sell-offs occur. Such downturns on Wall Street trigger thoughts of money that has seemingly gone up in smoke -- not to mention second-guessing as investors wonder why they didn't sell before the drop and lock in those now-lost profits.
But no one can know for sure when a market correction is going to come, and they are an inevitable feature of investing. More importantly, as the old saying goes, "It's not about timing the market, it's about time in the market." Sell-offs like the one going on now may feel stressful, but if you'd held the stocks of these well-known companies for the last 20 years, you'd be able to relax even during market corrections.
