Want to Be Richer? Add $100 to These Stocks Right Now
Although we've rebounded quite a bit off of the March lows, the U.S. economy and labor market remain shells of where they were just three months ago, with job losses surpassing 30 million and second-quarter gross domestic product expected to come in at a year-on-year decline of more than 30%, according to many Wall Street estimates. While putting a bear market into the rearview mirror isn't going to happen overnight, this data conclusively shows that buying stocks during major stock market declines is always a smart move.
