The Stock Market Just Suffered Its Worst First Half in 50 Years. It's Time to Buy These 3 Stocks

The S&P 500 -- an index of the 500 largest companies in the U.S. that's widely viewed as a measure of the overall performance of the stock market -- plunged 20% from the end of 2021 to the end of June. It's the worst downturn since the S&P 500 fell 21% in the first six months of 1970. Interestingly, the S&P 500 recovered its losses and surged 26.5% in the second half of 1970.
