Where to Invest $5,000 Right Now
Given the extreme volatility the market has seen this year, you might be wondering whether it's still the right time to invest in the stock market. The short answer is, it depends. If you're struggling to put money toward your nest egg and/or your emergency fund, it might be wise to work on shoring up those areas before you invest more cash in stocks.
On the other hand, if you have cash to invest that you don't expect you'll need soon, it's always an opportune time to invest in great stocks, and the current market environment is no exception. When you have a minimum investment horizon of three to five years for any stock you buy, recent market events shouldn't deter you from continuing to build your portfolio.
On that note, if you have $5,000 to invest in the stock market right now, here are two fantastic stocks to consider.
