SCL - 3 Stocks Worth Buying During a Stock Market Sell-Off
A quick glance at the annual returns of the S&P 500 over the last 10 years, and you'd think that investing in the stock market has been easy. However, plenty of ups and downs have demanded patience and a fair share of grit to get through.
There have been two major corrections in the last three years alone. Between Sept. 20, 2018 and Dec. 24, 2018, the S&P 500 plummeted 20%, mainly due to U.S.-China trade war fears. Between Feb. 19, 2020 and March 23, 2020, the S&P 500 plummeted 34% as the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic rippled through the market.
We can't control why the next market sell-off will happen or when it will occur. But we can make a game plan of what to buy when the time is right. Three Fool.com contributors selected Stepan (NYSE: SCL) , FedEx (NYSE: FDX) , and Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW) as three industrial stocks worth buying if the market takes a turn for the worse.
