alt Hacker NewsI've been told that a recession is coming since 2009, when I started investing - there has never been one since then despite all the dire predictions - therefore, my investments are safe

I've lived through both 2000 and 2008. They do happen. And typically not when everybody says there will be a recession, but when almost everybody finally agrees there won't be one.
Not that us plebs can do anything about it anyway... :(

There was one in 2020, granted it was the shortest on record.

The government is very decided on not letting one happen, or hiding any minor recession. They will throw money at the problem as long as they can.

As the saying goes, "Macroeconomists have successfully predicted nine of the last five recessions."
