The Smartest Stocks to Buy With $100 Right Now
For more than a year, investors have been privy to one of the strongest bounce-back rallies from a bear-market bottom in history. Through last weekend, the benchmark S&P 500 had jumped higher by 87% since March 23, 2020. For some context, the S&P 500 has delivered an annual average total return (including dividends) of a bit north of 10% since 1980. But since the beginning of 2020, the widely followed index has generated a total return of almost 33%.
The thing about investing in the stock market is there are always deals to be had -- even with the indexes at or near all-time highs. And best of all, you don't need Warren Buffett's pocketbook to go shopping. If you have $100 that can be put to work right now, and it won't be needed to pay bills or cover emergencies, you have more than enough to begin or further your journey to financial freedom. Here are some of the smartest stocks you can buy right now with $100.
