The Best Stocks to Invest $1,000 in Right Now

If I was looking to allocate $1,000 in stocks today, I would concentrate on industry leaders and beloved brands that still have bright futures. I believe Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are still two very attractive investments to hold until retirement.

These stocks have made investors massive returns over the last 10 years, and it's no secret why. They provide products and services used by billions of people, and their techy nature and massive revenue streams enable them to manufacture growth by continuing to delight their customers with innovation. After reviewing what these companies are up to (see below), consider investing $1,000 in the one stock you like best, or splitting the total and putting $500 into each if you can't decide.
