Do You Have These Top Stocks To Buy On Your Watchlist Right Now?
The stock market has been an interesting place in 2020. The coronavirus pandemic has created an entirely new landscape for the stock market today. So there are many different types of sectors that have been performing well this year. Some of these well-performing sectors include mining stocks, tech stocks, video game stocks, e-commerce stocks, and many more. What about the upper echelon of the market? I mean, if you’ve been keeping up you’ve seen how Walmart (WMT Stock Report) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL Stock Report) are performing this year. What about the rest?
Truth be told, nobody knows what is going to happen to the stock market at the moment. Analysts are more lost than they have ever been. Things are so volatile and can move in one direction so quickly that it is hard to know where to invest. For example, if the president tweets something that impacts the economy or something else, the market can completely change. With the market changing based on things like that, it can be hard to be in the know which way things will be moving. That is why proper research is more essential than it has ever been when investing in stocks. Let’s take a look at the biggest of the big, three large-cap stocks to watch as we continue through October 2020.

Best Stocks To Buy [Or Avoid] Right Now: Amazon Inc.
If you haven’t heard about Amazon’s (AMZN Stock Report) massive success in 2020, then you have already missed out on a lot. Don’t worry though, it’s never too late. You know Amazon as the massive e-commerce company that is now among the largest companies in the entire world. But what has Amazon been up to recently? In Amazon’s second-quarter reports, its revenue was up 40% to $88.9 billion.
In the reports, Jeff Bezos stated, “This was another highly unusual quarter, and I couldn’t be more proud of and grateful to our employees around the globe. As expected, we spent over $4 billion on incremental COVID-19-related costs in the quarter to help keep employees safe and deliver products to customers in this time of high demand”.
Amazon was already a massive company before this pandemic struck. But e-commerce has been needed while many are still too skeptical to go shop for items outside. In addition to that, many retail locations are restricted or still closed entirely at the moment. Amazon kept business flowing and saw results because of it. Since March, Amazon has created 175,000 new jobs with 125,000 new employees joining full-time positions. Groceries have been essential this year in particular, which is a segment up 160% with Amazon as well. Now, all we can do is see how AMZN stock performs in the future. It started the year at $1900 a share on average and is now at $3100 a share on average. That is why many investors have made good profit with AMZN stock in 2020.
