Stock Market Plunge: 5 Amazing Stocks You Won't Regret Buying

There's no denying that this has been one of the worst starts to a year in stock market history. Through this past weekend, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite were lower by 18%, 23%, and 31%, respectively, on a year-to-date basis. Relative to their all-time closing highs, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are firmly in a bear market.

In one respect, a stock market plunge can be unnerving. Few investors enjoy seeing large unrealized losses mount over short periods.

On the other hand, history has conclusively shown that buying high-quality stocks during these plunges is a smart move for patient investors. That's because every notable decline in the major U.S. indexes has eventually been erased by a bull market.
