If the Stock Market Crashes, I'm Loading Up on These 2 No-Brainer ETFs

On Nov. 5, the S&P 500 fell 4.4% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 5.5% after a selloff led by AI infrastructure stocks: Nvidia lost 9.3%, Broadcom 10.4%, AMD 17.3% and Micron 17.5%. The article attributes the pullback partly to the Democratic Party’s midterm election gains and calls from some newly elected officials for a moratorium on AI data center construction, while arguing that projects could shift overseas or to alternative sites. It recommends the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, with a 0.03% expense ratio and 15.4% 10-year average annual return, and Invesco QQQ, with 20.3% average annual returns over the same period, as potential buys if markets fall further.
