The Recession-Proof Portfolio: Investing in Vice

We are altering the format of our Insights newsletter a bit to make it more useful for our members by focusing on the key emerging themes and findings that we have covered over the past week. INK Research produces about 10 or more written reports and blog posts a week, plus INK Chat entries. In addition, we publish 3 videos a day on INK Ultra Money during the week. We cover a lot of ground, and, in this report, we will try to make sure you do not miss the essence of the key material that can help you navigate unfolding risks and identify emerging opportunities.

I hope you will find the new format a useful resource. Click here to read the key themes that have been hitting our radar screen recently.

In case you missed it, I will post the theme below, but in a nutshell it favours stocks such as those in the INK Canadian Insider Index that are geared towards rising inflation expectations.
