In this video, I'll be sharing my personal investing strategy that I plan to execute for the upcoming recession. In my opinion, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for you and I to profit instead of getting left behind. We must remember that riches are made in recessions a few months ago. Bloomberg Economics model projects the likelihood of a U.S recession to rise on 65 percent to not 100 within the next 12 months and that has many investors and Traders go into panic mode.

The stock market has been selling up since early 2022. We're seeing a decrease in earnings and growth across many company reports, a decline in housing sales, and a mass layoffs in a tech industry with a high likelihood of much more to come. While I wasn't active in the markets during the last recession in 2008, I've studied the data and past Trends to make sure I could position myself of the right way this time around. To start, make sure to remember to like the video and subscribe.

Now let's get into it: a recession is a general slow down in economic growth. This kind of decline is measured by GDP gross domestic product. This is a metric used to measure the total value of goods and services produced in the economy. And when there is two consecutive quarters of negative growth in GDP that's considered a recession.

We've seen that in 2022 so far there's already two quarters of negative growth, and despite seeing a nice recovery of positive GDP in the third quarter, many economists still suggest investors to stay cautious as they don't see the short-term growth to persist. That's Why Us Investors and Traders in the market, We must still prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. Despite all the uncertainty and high likelihood of various markets like Stocks, real estate, and crypto continue to decline more. We we must remember that riches are made in recessions.

First, let's talk about the stock market and my approach to investing during the recession even though you guys know me as a day trader I still invest in stocks long term for my retirement at the age of 50 next month. While many people and many personal finance YouTubers would say day trading is a form of investing, Now for those who aren't aware, day trading is a style of investing in which, no, it's not. Seriously, every time I Hear this I Just gotta roll my eyes. Trading and investing are completely different.

Day trading is considered a career in an active business. It's also taxed as a business and not as capital gains in the United States and Canada Investing however, means you're buying and appreciating asset, hopefully for the long term with the intention of holding on for two, three, five, or even 10 plus years. Every time there's a market correction or a bear. Market We see a lot of people trying to time the market as in their attempt to sell the investing portfolio at the top and look to invest back in once the market has bottomed out.

You see on paper that sounds like a great approach. However, in reality it's very difficult to time the bottom of the market. In day trading, we often use certain signals to time short-term bottom on the market intraday. Some indicators I personally use are V-wap technical double bottoms, and reclaim of key level.

However, that only works for short-term Outlook But when we're looking at potential long-term bear Market reversals that's pretty much impossible to time. just ask any portfolio managers or economists. In fact, many investors are trapped into the trying to time the bottom game but freaks out and sells the entire portfolio when the S P 500 cracks a new 52-week low Studies have shown that it's more crucial to focus on time in the market instead of timing the market. If you use any compound interest calculator, you can see that just by investing 100 every two weeks consistently with an average return of eight percent per year, it will be inevitable for you to become a millionaire.

Your investments will have grown over 1.2 million dollars over the course of 45 years, with only 117 000 being the actual cash. You've invested the rest of the 924 thousand dollars in gains. It's all compound interest. So for my own personal stock market portfolio I'm looking to invest 70 percent of my capital in index funds with a remainder 30 in individual stocks instead of trying to time the absolute bottom on these index funds and individual stocks like I mentioned earlier and dollar cost averaging in.

in my previous video revealing my entire Investment Portfolio I showed that I'm invested in index funds like Vti which invest in large mid smoke cap stocks in the United States I Also plan on adding into other index funds like Xdb and Xci which invest in high quality dividend stocks in energy Banking and utility sector in Canada I Like These funds because they are Diversified passive and boring and the management fees are extremely low. Perfect for busy individuals like myself who don't want to have to check on the companies every two weeks the remain in jail. 30 capital I have will be allocated slowly into individual stocks. In the third quarter of 2022.

I Picked up a few new stocks into my portfolio their Google Microsoft TD Bank and Taiwan semiconductor and I plan on adding into other existing positions I already have as well such as Tesla and Apple. If you're interested in following my long-term stock market portfolio and asset allocation, you can do so on the app. Blossom It's a first social investing app in Canada much similar to public in the US and shares in the UK on there. You can see all my buys and sells and personally invested in this app and looking forward to Blossom being approved as a broker in Canada Soon next year to download the app and follow my portfolio, make sure to use a link down below.

My plank is a dollar cost average in for example: if I allocate one thousand dollars in total to invest in Tesla the next year they're gonna buy in trunches of four buys each transaction worth around 250 dollars in value. I See the sell-off in the stock market as a great opportunity to pick up some quality stocks for Discount Just like how most people are excited for Black Friday Sales investors should treat the stock market sell-off as the same. My second investing strategy involves real estate, and in my opinion, this strategy is even more recession-proof While many economists are saying we might see another real estate bubble about the burst just like in 2008, I Highly doubt that's gonna happen in Canada. At least we have some of the strictest lending regulations in Canada In order to qualify for a mortgage, home, buyers have to go through extremely rigorous amounts of stress tests.

So in major cities like Vancouver and Toronto Even though yes, interest rates have certainly gone up quite a bit, supply has not increased by much. So in this scenario, the overall real estate prices will be unlikely to see a crash like we saw in 2008. However, I Think it's still a good idea to take a conservative approach when investing in real estate. Just like what I mentioned about the stock market, be prepared for the worst.

the hope for the best if there's really a decline in housing prices in. Greater Vancouver in the next few years I Want to step in and pick up one or two properties for my Real Estate Investment Portfolio As I mentioned in a previous video, I've dabbled in renting out some investment properties and that's doing really well just like my stock market. Investments I Have no intention of selling anything but this time around I Want to look for properties that allow short-term vacation rentals? Yes, I Want to try another business model Airbnb I Know as if I'm not doing enough already. However, I have to be very strategic about the location to make sure it's going to cash flow and not have too many empty slots in any season.

Where tourism is scarce and ideally these vacation rentals will be in areas that I personally would enjoy traveling to throughout the year. Moving on to the most speculative asset class of all cryptocurrencies. I know I said in my previous video that I only allocated a very small portion of my overall long-term Investment Portfolio in crypto and I was prepared to lose it all. but I didn't think it was actually going to happen I Rarely checked my Investment Portfolio values, but the last time I checked my crypto Holdings I was down about 60 to 70 percent.

That's not really fun. Many of my friends are asking me if I plan on adding even more in the Bitcoin in Ethereum during this major sell-off and to be honest, I am not. In my opinion cryptocurrencies will take many more years to consolidate before seeing any meaningful reversal with what transpired this year with some major exchanges collapsing like FTX and Voyager and all the Scandal that got unveiled I Think it would take the crypto markets a long time to regain trust from investors again, so no. I'm very happy to just hold on to my existing invest men's in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

and I don't see myself adding any more in a foreseeable future unless we see some actual signs of sentiment shift in the next few years. Let me know what kind of asset classes you're looking to invest in a recession? Are you looking at stocks, cryptos, cars, or real estate?
