so I understand that the stock market has been going completely nuts lately but it's also a
really good time to buy if you have the cash to do that and so in today's video I'm gonna be talking
about the four specific stocks that I've been buying right now during the stock market crash
and I do want to mention that right now even though the markets down it's still risky to be
investing because we don't know when it's gonna stop going down so just keep that in mind I'm not
a financial advisor so take this for entertainment purposes only but now let's start talking about
the four stocks that I am personally buying right now while the market's low now the first company
that I want to talk about is American Express and their ticker symbol is axp on the stock market so
that's how you're gonna be looking them up now we all know them obviously for their credit cards but
American Express also has other products as well because they've got personal loans and they've
also got high-yield savings accounts as well for their customers now right now because of
the crash American Express shares are currently trading for about 69 bucks a piece and that is a
very good value considering the last time there were 69 bucks a pop was back in October of 2016
so this is a big deal and this is a good time to get in if you want to invest in American Express
because you think they're going somewhere in the future so if you're interested in a growth stock
in the credit card sector then definitely check out American Express because they also pay out
a little dividend which is also kind of a nice thing to have as well now the next company I want
to talk about goes to Gladstone commercial and their ticker symbol is G ood on the stock market
and they are a real estate investment trust so they're a REIT and they're obviously in the real
estate sector now the cool thing about them is that they pay out a monthly dividend of twelve
and a half cents per share and they've been paying this since 2008 so 12 and a half cents per share
and we're looking at shares that are under ten bucks apiece right now and that's really good
because generally they're about twenty bucks a share so in this case you can get a really high
dividend yield for owning in them and then on top of that they pay out every month and that's
obviously really helpful because your money just seems to add up a lot faster so this is obviously
a really good time to get in if you want to get into a real estate investment trust and if you
guys do want to invest in a REIT that's a lot less volatile than gladstone commercial and check out
realty income their ticker symbol is just a on the stock exchange so look them up and they pay
out a monthly dividend as well but they're not as aggressive in their payouts and right now their
shares are also about half of what they used to be so check them out if you want something that's
less volatile than the G ood but both of them are really good options in the reed investments now
the next stock that I've been buying is actually an ETF so it's an exchange-traded fund and it
goes to vanguards S&P 500 index and their ticker symbol is just vo o on the stock exchange so look
them up whenever you're ready to now the cool thing about the vo o is that it's a very cheap
index to have their expense ratio is only 0.03 which is extremely competitive and then on top
of that you're gonna be bunched into 500 of the top US companies so obviously everything's really
low right now and then hopefully in the future everything will go back up so it's a really good
time to buy right now so right now vanguards S&P 500 index is trading for about 206 bucks a share
and that is such a good value considering just a month ago there were over 300 bucks a piece so
right now you can get them for about 200 bucks and then currently their dividend payout is over 2%
so that's also something to consider if you're looking to invest in ETF that also pays out a
dividend now obviously with the vo o index you've still got to come up with at least 200 bucks per
share just to get in and start investing so another one that I would recommend this is
another ETF I'm gonna go with Charles Schwab SCH B and this is a really good one because the expense
ratio is also 0.03 but this one's different than the S&P 500 this one's actually a group of 2500
of the biggest companies in the United States so this is a lot bigger than just the top 500 this
is the top 2500 but it is a lot cheaper now when I say cheaper I'm only referring to the cost per
share so if you're looking at the vo oh you're in at about 200 bucks a share but with the Charles
Schwab account you're looking at about 52 bucks a share so right there you can get in a lot easier
even though they're about the same value and honestly they're probably going to have about
the same return but it is a little bit easier to get in because you only need fifty bucks rather
than 200 and that's right now that I'm talking about on the low end of where everything is and
then the other thing to keep in mind with SCH B is you're obviously a lot more diversified because
if you're looking at 2,500 different companies that's obviously a lot more in the pool rather
than just the 500 from the vo oh and then keep in mind the one last thing I want to talk about is
the SCH B also pays out a dividend of over two and a half percent right now so keep that in mind if
you are looking into them now obviously those are just four stocks that we've been talking about in
particular right now but if you have been looking into different companies across the entire stock
market then I would HIGHLY advise that you start doing your research right now because there is a
lot of really good value that you can find when the markets really low now we don't know when
the lowest point is coming so just keep that in mind there's still risk when it comes to
investing but obviously buy low sell high that's how you always want to be doing it now if you just
