Stocks to buy

While Wall Street apparently seems content with the federal government’s efforts to contain recent banking failures, investors may want to start targeting inflation-resistant stocks to buy just in case.

That said, income-oriented investing cannot exclude this group, as the yields and payouts are simply too attractive. The stock market is in a tough spot. On the one hand, we’ve had a hot start to 2023, but

Even with the latest 25 basis point hike, the stock market seems to have digested the news and many anticipate that this is the last rate hike before the Federal Reserve chooses to pause. The interest rate is just slightly above the inflation rate, and the distresses in the banking sector have caused additional tightening
