  1. Not all recessions had market crashes. Some recessions even saw market rallies.
  2. Buying during a recession is a great opportunity as stocks tend to appreciate greatly in the next 5 years.
  3. During recessions, markets only dropped by 1.5% on average.

Of course this doesn’t take into account certain things such as how expensive the market was in the first place and what bond yields were prior to the recession.
