From Nasdaq:



The stock market has been performing well recently due to excitement over new generative artificial intelligence technologies and potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, pushing the S&P 500 up 16% since October 27th. Despite this, there is always a potential for a market crash due to unexpected black swan events. However, there are two stocks that are good buying opportunities in the event of a market crash: JPMorgan Chase and Microsoft.

JPMorgan Chase is a large company with a market cap of nearly $500 billion and is the nation’s largest bank by assets. It has proven to be resilient in the past and maintains a solid balance sheet, making it a smart buy in the event of a market crash. Microsoft, on the other hand, is a diversified tech giant with businesses in various sectors, providing a degree of resilience in the event of a market downturn or crash. Both companies are well-prepared to handle an economic shock and are good options for investors in the event of a market crash.

JPMorgan Chase is also an advertising partner of The Ascent, a Motley Fool company, and the author of the article has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.
