3 Highly Resilient Stocks to Buy Now For Long-Term Gains

Despite persistent worries about inflation, the recession, and increasing interest rates, investors are treating the most recent earnings season with renewed confidence and an optimistic outlook. Indeed, the main stock indexes have seen some weekly increases thanks partly to excellent quarterly reports from – albeit not as many as we might like – several important corporations.

The best investment strategies involve more than just keeping an eye on stock prices. Investors with a long-term outlook must go past the present state of the market, as chaotic as it may be. Traders are not the only ones on Wall Street exercising optimism either. Reputable economists can be a good example of how to be as resilient an investor as the stocks themselves. I did some research and narrowed it down to three stocks I found to be both fundamentally strong and appropriate for these times

Join me as I break down three stocks analysts say to buy now for their solid track records and recent resiliency during market downturns. These tickers make for timely portfolio picks:
