Got $5,000? 2 Tech Stocks to Buy and Hold for the Long Term

If you've got $5,000 to invest right now -- and an investment horizon that you measure in years and not months -- splitting that cash between The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) and Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) could be a smart move. Advertising companies haven't exactly been having a fantastic time as inflation has skyrocketed and a potential recession looms.
