Every time we had a spike in inflation above 5% - it was followed by a recession other than 1 time in the last 70 years. WHAT IS A RECESSION? A recession is technically defined as 6 months - or two back to back quarters of negative growth. HOW DO WE MEASURE GROWTH? Growth is measured by the GDP - the gross domestic product which you can also find here: , you can see the most recent recession - started in Q1 of 2020, there was a dip in growth, and then a huge dip in GDP in Q2 of 2020 which officially made it a recession. WILL THERE BE AN ACTUAL RECESSION? Check this out: going back as far as the 1950s, anytime we’ve had an inflation reading above 5%, we got a recession which are those grey columns in chart above. WHAT IS INFLATION NOW? Inflation is nearing 7% right now which means based on historical evidence, there’s a good chance we’ll get two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. HOW DOES THE STOCK MARKET DO IN A RECESSION? That’s the real question! We’ve had 30 recessions between 1869 and 2018. Now of those 30, 16 recessions have had a positive stock market return from when they started - to when they finished.

HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? They found the correlation between recessions as measured by the GDP growth and the stock-market at nearly . So it’s almost 0 correlation between a recession and the stock market. The 14 recessions when the stock market went down, lasted 18 months on average, with an average return of -14.2%. SHOULD I SELL ALL MY STOCKS? In order to beat a buy-and-hold return of 9.0% over the last 150 years, an investor would have to successfully predict 77% of the market turns —and move in and out of stocks/cash as appropriate (Russell Investments: ). Even if you knew for sure when a recession was coming, the odds of losing or making money is about 50/50. History says it’s nearly impossible to time the market.
