Most people only react after a recession hits. By then, prices have moved, fear is peaking, and the best assets are already gone.

◼️ How oil and energy remain essential even when growth slows
◼️ Why railroads are one of the most durable, impenetrable business models in the world
◼️ The common traits these sectors share that make them recession‑resistant
