Should We Invest During a Recession?

[Suba]

The economic recession is a difficult time for many people, where unemployment appears to be increasing, many productions have closed, so many people are hesitant to invest, but for some investors the economic recession is also the right moment to collect more investment instruments. If we have idle money, is an economic recession the right situation to invest?

It is indeed difficult but those who are eager to proceed to their plans, are not afraid of the risks of the situations. They may continue to invest.

Yes, if you have lots of idle money and can afford to lock the money for a certain period of time, this may be a good opportunity. As for me, I cannot afford to take this risk.

You are right, if we have losts of idle money that will not be used for the next two or three years we can increase our long-term investment portfolio, because during a recession prices are cheap and it takes a long time for prices to recover.

The decision to invest during a recession is something that must be strategically considered. If there is a good chance that the economy would soon recover, it is very sound to invest in recession and reap the yields as the economy bounces back.

This is an investment as such you should do your research. Be sure it is good for you and you would yield profit from it.

I have always find an opportunity to invest in the stock market when there is a recession because the rates of the shares are down during recessions provides I have money to invest. I don't think it's a bad idea to do that.

If you have idle money, it might be a good opportunity to invest. Thd share prices are down during recession time. And it's very well known that the recession is not a permanent thing. Sooner or later, the economy will bounce back recovering from it. You have all chances of making some good profit once the market recovers.

There is no specific time to invest. If you have idle fund, the best option is to invest it. Though, we are in inflation period, some people are not feeling the heat. If you are fortunate enough and making some good money, invest as much as you can!

 

[Augusta]

Yes, no ideal time just keep investing with the excess funds you gave but don't just do it with sentiments

This would not be however a better time for one to invest in that time for the truth of the matter

During recession, the stocks of quality companies are likely to decline making it easier to get those stocks cheaply to gain when the economy bounces back.

It will depend on the person, his financial obligations and the capacity that he has. For some, it might be tough to keep up with the demands of family and bills during recession. Also, with insecurity of job, one needs to keep enough money for emergency fund in case of job loss. But if one has excess than his financial obligations, one might see it as a golden opportunity for long term investment or buying cheap stocks. Recession is not a permanent phase, it would definitely pass bringing more benefits.

Recession is the best time to invest for investments like real estate. That's because one can easily afford to buy a property in recession.
