Name any point in recent history, any point at all, and I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts that someone, somewhere, is saying that a recession is coming. And you know what the funny thing is? They’re right that it’s coming—but they are often way wrong about the timing.
Recessions will happen. In my 25+ years of trading, I’ve seen the market plummet several times and always went on to break new highs. However, the uncertainty surrounding when the overall market (and if their stock picks) will recover makes investors sell at steep losses. Investing in recession-proof stocks is an easy way to get around this issue. But do such companies exist?
