Where to Invest $100 Right Now
Even after a couple of good days for stocks, the S&P 500 is still down almost 26% since late February, wiping out trillions of dollars in wealth as the world faces the biggest health crisis and economic shock in decades. Many stocks are down far more, and depending on how bad -- and how protracted -- the economic downturn lasts, the worst could be yet to come.
And while there could be more pain ahead, history is a clear guide, that people who take advantage of big market crashes like this to buy are the ones who profit in the long term. And while in the past the scales were decidedly tipped to the favor of whoever had the most money, competition and technology have become great equalizers, and people with even a small amount of money can now put it to work in ways that were impossible even a couple of years ago.
