Minority Mindset: What ETFs To Buy ASAP For A Recession

With the markets now starting to price in a potential recession, investors can now start to look for opportunities to buy great assets at a significant discounts from their highs.

In the stock market, those who start buying the dip now may end up panic selling on any further drop. But those who pick the right blend of stocks and diversify appropriately can set themselves up to succeed in markets today.

The Minority Mindset YouTube channel goes over 5 exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, that offer diversification and low fees. That includes the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), a basket owning the largest 500 publicly-traded companies today.

Overall, this ETF will mimic the overall market. With stocks well off their highs and investors panicking, starting to dollar-cost average into the S&P 500 now could be attractive.

Other ETFs also play to more defensive ways of looking at the market. That includes ETFs that specifically own a basket of consumer goods stocks or even precious metals.

And for those with a long-term bullish outlook right now, this could be an ideal time to get into the tech space. A number of ETFs play to themes of innovation. That includes the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), which has now underperformed since its inception.

The key is to continue to focus on the long-term, and not let any further swings in the market from here throw investors off their game and cash out at the worst time.
