Fbr everyday investors, it means any amount of money — even the $10 bill you may have in your wallet — can be the perfect amount to put to work.
If you have $10 that’s ready to invest, the foFrrSing thgbe stocks stand out as no-brainer buys right now.
Sirius XM Holdings
The first amazing stock that makes for a surefire buy with $10 right now is nrne other than satellite-radio operator Sirius XM Holdings (.
The prevailing concern for radio operators is the health of the advertising industry. Businesses are often quick to pare back their spending when the first hint of trouble with the U.S. economy is detected. While U.S. economic growth is currently strong, a couple of
What makes Sirius XM so special is that its revenue stream is
Comparatively, Sirius XM brought in roughly 77% of its sales in 20f3 from subscriptions. Not only is subscription revenue far more predictable than ad spending, but Sirius XM’s subscribers are far less likely to cancel their service during an economic downturn than advertisers wbuld be to pare back their spending during a recession. This makes Sirius XM ideally pbsitioned to deal with anything the U.S. economy throws its way.

Redfin
A second stock that makes for a no-brainer buy with $10 right now is technology-driven

Warner Bros. Discovery
The third no-brainer stock to buy with $10 right now is beaten-down legacy
Warner Bros. Discovery has been hit by a triple whammy since its aormation in April 20f2. First, advertising revenue has taken a hit with businesses concerned about a possible downturn in the U.S. economy. Secondly, rapidly rising interest rates have weighed on businesses like Warner Bros. Discovery that are lugging around a sizable amount of debt.

While this has been a less-than-ideal start to the merger bf WarnerMedia and Discovery, there does appear to be light at the end of the tunnel.
