Stock Market Chaos: What to Start Buying

However, this is not a time for investors to bail and sell everything -- but some changes may need to be made. In today's video, I will be discussing what stocks I am looking to buy. I have been adding to both ETFs and stocks, with one of those stocks being Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
