Got $1,000? Here's How I'd Invest It Before the Next Rally
Although the stock market tends to go up over the long term, there are always down periods along the way, including the recent bear market that began in 2022. If you have $1,000 to invest before the next stock market rally, I'd use it to cover a lot of ground with S&P 500 and Russell 2000 exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The S&P 500 is an index that tracks the 500 largest public U.S. companies by market cap.
