45% on stocks and commodities combine during a recession? No, I guess I'll take a larger share for crypto and real-estate investments rather than invest anything on stocks during a recession.
regarding real estate, it really depends what region you're talking about. it's a terrible time to invest in real estate in the USA if you think a major recession is on the horizon. it's an extremely illiquid asset and the market has already seen 10 years of bull market. while the market looks healthier than stocks, it's dependent on the same factors---namely continued economic growth. any recession will damage the real estate market. just look at the 2008 crash!
i prefer holding cash and waiting for blood in the streets myself.
I fully agree with you! The best to invest in real estates is AFTER a recession, not before a recession. If you buy now a real estate, you could find yourself as a bigger looser than stocks in few years if new recession occurs. In my opinion, the best option is to buy touristic real estates in places like Europe or near sea coast in mid/after recession.
