>I think it's never too late to invest in any stock, but I'd recommend looking for stocks that have an inherent value and are likely to do well regardless of economic conditions. Stocks like energy companies, technology giants such as Microsoft or Amazon, health care providers with stable cash flow models etc. can be a great way to diversify your portfolio during recessions since they tend not only remain unaffected by market fluctuations but may even benefit from them if other sectors struggle.
