Spring Stock Market Crash: Where to Invest Right Now
No one can predict with certainty when, or if, a stock market crash is coming. But with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both having risen about 50% in nearly a straight line over the past 12 months, markets in general might be at risk of a decline. With that in mind, and a long-term plan in place, investors might want to position themselves now to absorb a market pullback.
One way to prepare is by building up cash and putting together a shopping list for the right entry point. That's a smart approach, but a long-term strategy by definition means staying invested. And with the exact timing of the next extended downturn being unknown, these stocks are good places to invest now. They each include desirable traits that help you stay invested through a market crash.
