These Stocks Are Your Friends During a Market Crash

It's been a really tough ride for investors these past few weeks. Stock values have been plunging since the second part of April, and that's on top of the losses investors were already seeing in their portfolios due to earlier-in-the-year volatility.

At this point, it would be premature to say we're in the midst of a stock market crash. But it's definitely fair to say that we've plunged into a down market. And that can be unsettling, whether you're a new investor or have maintained a portfolio of stocks for years.

If you're worried about a full-blown market crash, there's one type of stock it could pay to load up on -- or hang on to.
