3 Safe Stocks You Can Buy Right Now

Global economic and political headwinds have taken their toll on the stock market this year, creating tremendous levels of volatility seemingly across every sector. Fortunately, there are some stocks that our contributors think can provide investors with a smoother ride in this turbulent environment. Read on to see which stocks they think might be good buys right now.

With shares of Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) down roughly 40% this year, driven by a series of disappointing earnings reports and a pricing scandal, the upscale grocer may not seem like a particularly safe pick. It's hard to say that any stock is considered "safe" in energy and materials today, but one stock investors might want to consider for safety in this space is Magellan Midstream Partners (NYSE:MMP). If you're looking for a safe haven in healthcare, I think Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) has to be at the top of your list.
