Invest $500 In These Five Stocks

It doesn’t take a lot of money to take advantage of the market’s volatility. Thanks to trading platforms offering commission-free moves, it’s never been cheaper to invest modest amounts.

Mercado Libre, Twilio, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Disney and Chipotle Mexican Grill are worth buying. Take $500 and evenly split it into these five stocks.

MercadoLibre

The Latin America leading online marketplace is continuously getting bigger and better, but one can’t say the same about stock prices. It is currently performing 44% below. But the platform has over 82.2 million active users.

At the moment, the stock price is $1100. Without that amount, you won’t get a single share. The good news is that it is possible to buy fractional shares, meaning MercadoLibre is a viable option for all investors.

Twilio

If you get notifications through the delivery stages of a product, it’s probably Twilio, and it is the leading provider of in-app communication solutions.

This company is organically growing, it is armed with strong retention rates and an expanding client base that trusts what it offers.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services is an international container shipping specialist.

The company trades at 2.5 times trailing earnings, and it pays a variable dividend based on earnings and a payout of 14.3%.

It all sounds great, but it is not as good as last year. Still, ZIM is attractively priced.

Disney

Last year the company was the worst performer of the Dow 30 and keeps trading lower, but its business has gotten stronger.

The Marvel franchises still dominate the box office, the theme parks are back to pre-pandemic levels, and of course, Disney+ has grown faster than any premium service in its first two years.

Chipotle Mexican Grill

Surprisingly the restaurant got boosted during the pandemic thanks to third-party takeout delivery apps. It became the comfort eats provider for a big number of fans.

Chipotle was ahead of the game, because even before the pandemic, the company made digital sales a priority, meaning their quarters were really positive before rivals followed.
