With a recession coming, is it a good idea to invest in S & P 500 now or wait?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>With a recession just around the corner, is it a good idea to invest in the S &amp; P 500 Index now or wait?</p> <p>the first thing that comes up when I search the topic is &quot;<strong>The S&amp;P 500 usually declines significantly during recessions</strong>; it fell as much as 55% during the Great Recession. The index often begins to fall well before a recession starts and rebounds well before a recession ends&quot;</p> <p>What will your actions be?</p> <p>Edit: guys calm down it’s just what I’ve heard I’m still new to this </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SteakProtein"> /u/SteakProtein </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/zl3a28/with_a_recession_coming_is_it_a_good_idea_to/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/zl3a28/with_a_recession_coming_is_it_a_good_idea_to/">[comments]</a></span>
