Here Are the First 3 Stocks I'm Buying if the Market Crashes

Published September 4, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is right around all-time highs right now, and nothing appears to be looming that could send the market lower. However, surprises do pop up and can send the market crashing (or soaring) at a moment's notice. Investors need to have a short list of stocks ready to buy if it goes down tomorrow. 

Headlining my list are three stocks: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). This list could change if the reason for the market sell-off places a specific company right in the crosshairs, but if it's just a general sell-off, I'm buying these three first.
