I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Is there such a thing as a 'recession-proof' portfolio?


Read? Is there such a thing as a 'recession-proof' portfolio?

Good reminder to us to build 'recession-resistant' wealth or net worth!

Uncle8888 fully understood this concept of 'recession-resistant' wealth building concept and not all into investment for higher return at all times.

Uncle8888's Three Taps Solution model should be one of those  'recession-resistant' wealth building concept or type.

  1. CW888, can I said that your Tap 1 is only flowing (income) after age 55 and age 65.

    Age 55 - Interest from OA
    Age 65 - CPF annuity

    So, prior to age 55, there is no 'recession proof' portfolio lah.

  2. From personal experience during AFC & Dot.com Bust/911/SARS, the best recession proof for my portfolio was having a "iron rice bowl" civil service job!! Haha!!!

    If a person has to worry about job security and insufficient passive income to replace employment income, then usually won't be psychologically prepared to buy when streets are awash in blood, even if got big warchest.

  3. Think of it. Retirees are in better position to build recession-resistance portfolio since they have no concern over loss of income due to retrenchment.

  4. The real lever to make recession proof portfolio is asset allocation. If you allocate a smaller and yet comfortable percentage of your wealth to the volatile stock market, you are naturally making your portfolio recession resistant

    1. True but some will feel that they missing out on opportunity cost. No free lunch in the market without affecting our emotions.
