3 Top Stocks to Recession-Proof Your Portfolio
The 2010s marked America's first full decade without a recession since the Great Depression. That's an impressive growth spurt, but it also suggests that investors should count on an increased chance of a recession in the next few years.
It's foolish to sell all of your stocks on those fears, since it's generally futile to predict the depth and length of a recession. But it's also foolhardy to assume that all of your stocks will bounce back after a recession.
Instead, investors should accumulate shares of companies that flourish during economic downturns or remain naturally insulated from macro headwinds. Today, I'll cover three stocks that fit that description: The TJX Companies (NYSE: TJX), PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).
