Market Sell-Off Fears: Where to Invest $1,000 Right Now

Several red flags spooked investors on Monday, Sept. 20, as the S&P 500 fell 1.7% amid signs of a potential sell-off. September is usually considered a bad month for the stock market. Major indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 have historically receded during the month since 1950, though 2021 has turned out to be particularly harsh because of a rise in coronavirus cases and trouble in China, where real estate giant China Evergrande Group is on the brink of default.

September's sell-off might be bad news for short-term investors and traders. But investors who tend to hold stocks for a long time can find some great opportunities to buy shares at a discount. Let's look at some of the ways investors can take advantage of this month's sell-off by investing $1,000 in potential winners that could yield rich rewards in the long run.
