Investing $2,000 in These Top Stocks Is a Smart Move
Since roughly the midpoint of February, Wall Street and investors have been taken on a roller-coaster ride they're never going to forget. The uncertainty and nonessential business shutdowns associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused the benchmark S&P 500 to lose more than 20% of its value in a mere 17 trading days, and it ultimately pushed the widely followed index lower by as much as 34% in 33 calendar days. Both of these moves represent the fastest retracements from a recent high in the stock market's storied history.
However, panic-based selling has always -- and I really do mean always -- opened the door for opportunistic long-term investors looking to snatch up great companies at an attractive valuation.
The best part is that you don't need to be rich to invest in the stock market and create wealth. If, say, you have $2,000 that you won't need to pay bills or for emergencies, you have more than enough capital to build wealth over the long run. Here are three top stocks you can invest in right now that, many years down the road, will look like smart choices.
