3 Great Stocks for Low-Risk Investors
As COVID-19 cases continue to rise in a number of states, the S&P 500, much to the relief of investors, has held steady. In fact, it's actually risen about 3.5% through the first full month of summer. Nonetheless, the memory of the market's record-breaking downturn in March is enough to unsettle even the most confident investors, and many people believe that a second crash is likely.
Whether you're preparing for the market to plunge again or you're merely interested in balancing the higher-risk stocks in your portfolio with more-conservative holdings, you're in luck. There are plenty of compelling, low-risk opportunities available right now -- stocks like American Water Works (NYSE: AWK), Waste Management (NYSE: WM), and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM).
