3 Stocks to Consider Ahead of the Market Crash

It's not a question of if, but rather, when. When will stocks come crashing down after a more than decade-long bull run? Six months from now? A year? It's anyone's guess, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare for the inevitable.

When it comes to investing with a potential recession looming, it's smart to stick with the companies churning out the necessities -- those things that are needed even when money is tight. That applies to businesses too. Sales may be down during a recession, but there are some things companies have to continue to spend on. Investors who choose to invest in those types of enterprises tend to do better during downturns.

To be ready if, and when, a market crash occurs, consider these three stocks.
