In most years, April isn't a special month to buy stocks. It's not a bad time to invest, but there's nothing that makes April better than other months. But this April is different.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent stock market plunge, this month is a very good time to invest in stocks. I'd argue that it's an especially great time to invest in shares of big drugmakers. Many pharma stocks have been hammered much harder than is warranted. My view is that three pharma stocks stand out as the top picks to buy in April.
