"What you need to say to yourself is, 'What companies have historically done well in a recession?'" says Cramer, adding that economic activity doesn't stop when the economy shrinks.
He advises sticking with stocks of companies in sectors that can weather a recession. Cramer has mentioned a few examples on his show, including banks, food and drug companies. And, "beer goes up in a recession, so there's Constellation Brands," he adds, referring to the company that produces Modelo and Corona.
What you invest in is one thing. How much and whether you want to put more money into the market during a downturn is something else to consider, says Cramer.
