+1

But only in line with the asset allocation you pre-determined before this whole crash.  Otherwise you're just market timing in the hopes that it's a scheme that will get you rich quick.

Stop asking silly questions.. There is no best stock. Or even best index/fund. Everybody has different risk tolerance, time horizon, economic outlook and things they value.

The best investment you can make is in yourself, to learn about the various investments you can make and assess your own personal makeup as an investor so that you can tailor your investments to best suit your personal circumstances.

Put options on HYG because companies that borrowed for stock buy backs are screwed.

The one that will increase in value the most between now and when you choose to sell, because that will return the most money.
