Got $5,000? Buy These 2 Stocks and Hold Them Until Retirement
For most investors, a few hundred bucks isn't a make-or-break amount of money. When you're talking about a few thousand bucks though, things change. It can take a while to save up that sort of cash stash. As such, it really shouldn't be squandered. That's particularly true when you're talking about building a retirement nest egg.

You can feel comfortable about parking $5,000 in each (or some divisor of that total in the two together) and tucking these stocks away for a few years -- or maybe even a couple of decades.
