People will consistently buy consumer goods. I know that when I cut back I'm not cutting my toothpaste and toilet paper. [Procter & Gamble] will innovate, cut costs and adapt to the ever-changing market.

An earlier pitch by DemonDoug in July shares that sentiment and taps the stock as an ideal way to recession-proof your portfolio:

Yield 2.6%. Solid. ... This company has been around for 171 years. That means it didn't just survive the depression and 2 world wars, but also multiple depressions in the 1800s. ... Expect [Procter & Gamble] to keep growing steadily over the next 10 years.
