5 Top Stocks for December
Stock prices have been all over the place in 2022, making it a rather scary year for investors. The S&P 500, which closed 2021 with 27% gains, is down 22% so far this year, as of this writing. It'll be an absolute stunner if the index can end 2022 in the green.
Yet, December brings hope with it, as U.S. equities have historically rallied in the last month of the year. With the stock markets also regaining some ground last month, December is the perfect time to evaluate your portfolio, plan ahead, and set some money aside to buy stocks that look convincing as we step into a new year.
Some names to consider right now are Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Novocure (NASDAQ: NVCR), Deere & Company (NYSE: DE), and Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP). And if you still aren't convinced, a proven exchange-traded fund (ETF) like the Vanguard 500 Index Fund (NYSEMKT: VOO) is your best bet.
