We’ve been talking about the chances of a recession for months now. Thanks to rising rates choking company profits, some Wall Street firms currently have the odds of a recession sometime between now and the end of 2023 as high as 98%.
In a recent podcast episode, we discussed what to do with your savings and investments to prepare for a recession. But today we’re going to look at the other side of the coin: how to profit from an economic downturn.
As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week’s guest is a friend of the show, Joe Saul-Sehy from Stacking Benjamins.
Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments on this show, don’t take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any other money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.

How to profit during a recession
It’s not enough to just be prepared. You need to be ready to profit during an economic downturn. Joe offers some ideas for investing in Dimensional funds and we suggest getting Joe’s book, “Stacked,” to help you learn more about money and how to manage it.
