Is It Safe to Invest During a Recession?
The COVID-19 crisis has already upended the U.S. economy. Right now, millions of Americans are out of work while countless small businesses are at risk of shutting down on a permanent basis. As such, there's talk that we'll soon have a full-blown recession on our hands.
There's no single definition of what a recession is, but the classic description is a period of economic decline lasting several months or longer. And hard-core economists will tell you that it's a decline in gross domestic product for two or more consecutive quarters.
