Josh Ben and I did a video about how to build a recession proof portfolio. [link] These are the 12 charts I used for my talking points. You can see that recessions have become less frequent with the passage of time. This makes sense as the economy has matured. They've also been shorter in duration.

I don't pay attention to negative market commentary. I avoid it not because I want to stick my head in the sand and ignore potential warnings, it's just that this type of content doesn't make you a better investor. It's mostly hyperbolic and fortunately, mostly wrong. But the real reason I don't read it is because it's a waste of my time. It won't change how I manage money for myself and it won't impact how we manage money for our clients.

If these prognostications for U.S. large stocks come to pass, it would be just the 4th time that they experienced a -3.3% real total return over a 7-year period. GMO is hardly alone in their forecast for lower future returns, which is at least partly why endowments are so heavily allocated towards alternative strategies.
