Step 1
Make sure that you are investing money that you are capable of losing. Do not invest money that you will need within a few years because you might be forced to sell them for a lower price than you paid.

Step 2
Look for stocks that still have a strong business plan. Also look for companies that earn revenue from many different streams and countries. Internationally based companies are great to buy during a recession.
