5 of the Best Stocks to Invest $5,000 in Right Now
If investors have learned anything about the stock market over the past year, it's that patience pays.
Over the past 71 years, there have been 38 corrections of at least 10% in the broad-based S&P 500. Yet each and every one of these significant declines was eventually erased by a bull market rally. In many instances, it's taken just months or a couple of quarters to put the bad memory of a short-term decline in the rearview mirror. The point is, investors who seek out brand-name and/or innovative businesses to hold for long periods of time have been handsomely rewarded.
Regardless of what the stock market does over the short term, you can consider putting money to work right now in some of the best growth and value stocks. If you have, say, $5,000 at the ready, here are five of the best stocks to invest it in.
