Your $1,200 coronavirus check from the government could be the first step you take to reaching the retirement of your dreams.

While $1,200 might not sound like a lot, it can add up in a hurry.

A $1,200 investment in Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) in December 2008 would be worth $42,530 today.

As Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald puts it, "picking the 'right' companies could set you up for once-in-a-lifetime wealth at prices you won't see again for a generation."

That's why we're going to show you exactly which stocks to buy to start building a retirement portfolio with just $1,200.

Shortly after legendary fund manger Bill Ackman gave an emotional, half hour interview about the fate of the American economy on CNBC yesterday, stocks fell so hard and fast trading was halted.

If you listened to what he said, the market's response wasn't a mystery.

He said the crisis was so bad that "America will end as we know it" and "hell is coming."

Restaurants, hotels, and airlines will all go out of business, according to Ackman.

He says shares of Hilton Hotels (NYSE: HLT) will drop to $0 in the next 18 months if nothing is done.

But Ackman's doomsday predictions might've made him a lot of money yesterday.

It was all by design.

While everyone ran for the door, those who read between the lines followed his lead...

The stock market hasn't hit bottom, but it's going to.

If you knew when that was going to happen, and you had money to invest in stocks, you'd make a terrific amount on the initial bounce and easily double, triple, quadruple, or quintuple your money in the next bull market.

The truth is you don't have to know exactly when the bottom's in to make a fortune (but I will tell you when it is). You just need to know that you don't want to miss that first bounce up, and I can help.

Here's why this is setting up to be a generational buying opportunity, how to buy stocks on the way down so you get into them near the bottom, and when we'll see the bottom… Full Story

The rapid spread of the coronavirus has quickly halted economies, sending shock waves throughout financial markets around the world.

The S&P 500 is already down 30% from its all-time highs made just five weeks ago.

In comparison, it took about a year to drop 30% the midst of the 2000 tech bubble and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

Many are wondering if we're in the early stages of another recession… or worse, a depression.

So, does that mean the stock market will close?

We'll explain here...

Momentum in the market has been very negative.

And there has been virtually no buying pressure to match the forced selloff that we're seeing from liquidation of funds and larger institutions.

That said, we have reached the point where some prices have become simply too attractive to ignore…

This is especially evident in the real estate market, where certain assets are trading like the companies are going out of business.

Today, I want to discuss one real estate investment trust (REIT) that will thrive through this economic crisis and provide a big opportunity for investors in the months ahead.

Right now, the S&P 500 is sitting at 2,386.

That figure is roughly 18 times earnings and is getting very close to reaching fair value.

The pullback has brought the S&P down to a critical support level near 2,350.

And now many investors are seeing this as an opportunity to slowly begin buying stocks with strong balance sheets and dividends.

If you're looking for guidance and are eager to put money to work, it's important to be cautious.

But you can start by purchasing solid companies that will thrive during the coronavirus outbreak or will be the key survivors once the pandemic passes.

Here's why you should consider dollar-cost averaging into the following top dividend stocks...

The Dow Jones Today Fell 3,000 Points: Here's What's Next

Stocks closing on their lows is never a good sign, especially on record-breaking down days like today.

The Dow closed down almost 3,000-points – nearly a 13% loss in a single day. And the Dow closed almost on its lows. That's the same case for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite.

The Fed cutting the Fed Funds rate to 0% is not a good thing. It's basically a desperate move showing a lack of liquidity at big banks.

So here's Shah to explain what's happening, what hee ses playing out in the coming weeks, and what to do about it...
