Stock market crash recovery stocks to buy include five dividend-paying dandies that not only offer income but strong potential for share-price appreciation.

Several of the stock market crash recovery investments that pay dividends are engaged in health care services that should be in strong demand during and after the current coronavirus crisis. The opportunity to invest in dividend-paying stocks that offer potent growth prospects includes the chance to buy them at reduced prices after the stock market crashed roughly 30 percent in six weeks from Feb. 24 to March 16 as coronavirus cases spread from China and Europe to the United States.

Between Feb. 24 and the close of trading on Monday, March 16, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tumbled 31%, the S&P 500 dove 29% and the Nasdaq tanked 30%. Those indexes have recovered substantially since then, including a 15% gain in the market during the past week.

Three dividend-paying investments earned the recommendation of Mark Skousen, PhD, a presidential fellow in economics at Chapman University, the longtime editor of Forecasts & Strategies and the author of more than 25 books on economics and finance. Two health care stocks ranked among the best dividend-paying choices of Skousen, who has been named one of the top 20 most influential living economists.
