The AAII (American Association of Individual Investors) sentiment survey at the time showed one of the widest spreads between bullish and bearish members since 2013.

When a company or portfolio manager is holding a lot of stocks that are down at the end of the quarter, they’ll often dump those assets regardless of the fundamental or underlying value.
So if they’re holding an asset with good fundamentals but a currently depressed value, they’ll offload it.
“Those same money managers come right back in tomorrow morning and repurchase the same stocks,” Price wrote, “while obtaining a full three months before they have to show they owned them.”
Agile investors can get ahead of the game by picking up stocks that the managers put on sale. It can be a great chance, he writes, to “buy some major bargains.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS
During a recession, most investors should avoid investing in companies that are highly leveraged, cyclical, or speculative, as these companies pose the biggest risk for doing poorly during tough economic times.
A better recession strategy is to invest in well-managed companies that have low debt, good cash flow, and strong balance sheets.
Counter-cyclical stocks do well in a recession and experience price appreciation despite the prevailing economic headwinds.
Some industries are considered more recession-resistant than others, such as utilities, consumer staples, and discount retailers.
