No One Sign Is Perfect
More than anything else, the best thing to remember about the chance of a recession at any given point in time is that it’s inevitable. Sooner or later, the good times give way to the bad, as they always have.
And while there are warning signs, no one has really ever perfected timing the market. So while it’s one thing to note the inversion of the yield curve and start sticking a little more in your savings account each month, doing something like selling off all your stock investments trying to avoid the next downturn is probably going to be more trouble than it’s worth.
