Got $5,000? Buy These 2 Stocks and Hold Until Retirement

While there is still a lot of uncertainty in the markets, there are two stocks in particular that have dropped in price that look like strong candidates to thrive over the long run: Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, made some news in June when it did a 20-for-1 stock split. If you don't own Amazon, it gives you an opportunity to buy this mega-cap stock at a much more reasonable entry price -- about $122 per share at the time of the event.
