In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Phil Town asks the question, "Is a recession coming?" A few recent signs, such as trade wars and tariff conflicts, are indicators a major recession could be on the horizon. If and when the markets do take a dip, here are some ways to protect yourself.
- Build up your emergency fund. Put aside a 6-month rainy-day fund.
- Don't sell your stocks just because your investments are at a loss. If you believe in your stocks, don't give up on them so easily.
- Stay rational and don't panic. Try to make the best decision from a logical place.
- Load up on some awesome companies. Now is your chance to create a new watchlist of terrific companies that you think will enrich your current collection of stocks.
- Look for companies that have bounced back. If businesses were able to recover after the 2008 recession, they ought to be resilient enough for the current climate, too.
