3 Stocks for a Better Retirement
As the COVID-19 pandemic rattles markets worldwide, investors should focus on high-quality stocks that are well-insulated from the macro headwinds, pay stable dividends, and trade at reasonable valuations. Stocks that check those boxes will likely weather the storm and support a long-term investor's retirement plans. These three stocks fit the bill: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).
Johnson & Johnson's business is diversified across the pharmaceutical, consumer healthcare, and medical device markets. These units are so diverse that occasional headwinds -- like generic competition for blockbuster drugs, or lawsuits regarding the safety of certain products -- are easily offset by the strengths of its other businesses.
