3 Stocks for a Better Retirement
Retirement investing is all about balancing your long-term needs with your near-term ones. As the economy slows and the market falls due to the measures in place to tamp down on the spread of the coronavirus, that need for a balance becomes crystal clear. Money you need within the next few years does not belong in stocks, and tools like investment-grade bond ladders are much better suited for meeting those needs.
For money that you don't intend to spend for five or more years, however, stocks can still play a role in delivering the long-term growth you'll need to help your money last as long as your retirement does. Particularly in today's environment, it's important to have that long-term perspective with your stocks and to look for companies that look like they have the staying power to get you to that long-term goal. With that in mind, here are three stocks to consider on your path toward a better retirement.
