MO - 3 Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks You Can Trust as the Market Plunges
Over the past three weeks, investors have received a harsh reminder that stocks do indeed go down from time to time. With big downside moves often driven by emotions rather than reason, investors have witnessed the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average log five of its 10 biggest single-day point declines over a two-week stretch, through this past weekend.
Historically, though, buying stocks during any stock market correction has proved to be a smart move. That's because earnings growth over time tends to push broad-market indexes higher, thereby erasing all evidence of a correction. While things look scary now for investors, you'll almost certainly be glad you bought into the greatest wealth creator on the planet 10 years from now.
