Surviving the Downturn: Expert Tips for Investing During a Recession | Sharesies

This episode is all about cash. And it applies to our personal finances and the companies we’re investing in.

Bryce and Alec explain what the definition of a recession is and how the market generally reacts.

Basically, in a recession money dries up. Banks become less willing to lend, interest rates are up, credit risks are higher. Investors become less willing to invest as they are generally losing money 'elsewhere' ... they become more risk averse.
