The First Stock I'm Going to Buy in the Next Stock Market Correction

Many have tried and failed to predict stock market corrections. Almost no one has ever consistently been able to do it. Just because it's nearly impossible to predict, though, doesn't mean it's difficult for investors to take advantage when it happens. It just means having a list of companies you want to buy when the next sell-off arrives.

The stock at the top of my watch list is PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL). In a sea of companies blending technology and finance, the company's infrastructure is increasingly becoming the payment method of choice for internet commerce.

The past 18 months have cemented the company's position as a leader in the industry. That's just one reason I'm eager to add shares to my portfolio during the next downturn.
