3 Top Stocks to Recession-Proof Your Portfolio
With the U.S. economy in the late innings of a growth cycle, a tariff war still raging between the U.S. and China, and an inverted yield curve spooking the markets, investors are bracing for a recession.
Nobody knows when it will come or how bad it will be, but there are signs pointing to an inevitable slowdown, which means it's time for investors to prepare -- not by moving all their money into cash and hunkering down but by choosing stocks for their portfolio that can withstand even a protracted downturn.
Though it may be easier said than done, there are industries that hold up well in slowing economic times. They usually provide low-cost products and services or items consumers need in good times and bad. They may not be red-hot growth stocks, but they do provide calm in what may be a tumultuous time. With that in mind, here's a look at three top stocks to recession-proof your portfolio.
