Should You Invest During a Recession?

The U.S. economy is officially in a recession, the National Bureau of Economic Research recently announced. Economists revealed that the recession actually began back in February, and nobody knows exactly how long it will last.

This can be concerning news for investors, and many Americans are worried about investing right now. In fact, approximately 4 in 10 U.S. adults say it's not the right time to invest in the stock market, according to a recent survey from Personal Capital.

While it can be nerve-wracking to invest during a market downturn, a recession is actually a prime investing opportunity. However, there is one major caveat to consider before you throw your money into the stock market.
