4 Stocks I Wouldn’t Buy With Free Money

Over the long-term, the stock market is a wealth-building machine. No matter how many corrections and bear markets are thrown Wall Street’s way, each of the major indexes eventually puts notable downside moves in the rearview mirror.
However, just because the major indexes increase in value over time, it doesn’t mean all stocks will be winners.
