Incoming Recession - Where to Stash That Cash?

Please Note: These claims are based on a long-term outlook. After considering many different approaches to a recessionary bear market, these all seem reasonable. The following does not constitute investment advice; all financial decisions involving risk of capital are made at the sole discretion of the individual and/or his financial advisor. I aim simply to provide ideas.

Safe: Commodities

Valuation Model: Monetary stimulus programs such as quantitative easing are typically pursued post-crisis in an effort to stimulate a shaken economy. Monetary stimulus activates inflation. Since the price of commodities is highly correlated to the real rate of inflation, monetary stimulus will cause commodity prices to rise.

 Examples:
 - Gold (highly undervalued)
 - Silver (highly undervalued)
 - Nonperishable Food (necessary for survival, contains real value)
 - Clean Water

Some Risk: "Recession-Proof" Stocks

Valuation Model: Efficient Production, Increased Demand

 Example1: Mining (HL, NEM, TAHO, AG)
                             - relatively cheap; huge growth potential
 Example2: Consumer Staples (WMT, T, VZ)
                             - Strong cashflow and dividends, relatively stable

 *Gold and silver have massive growth potential in recessionary events without the credit risk of stocks.

High Risk: Long-Term Options

Valuation Model: Based directly/inversely to price action of underlying security.

  Examples:
 $20 01/15/21 SLV Call     [SLV currently @ 14.69]
 $160 01/15/21 QQQ Put     [QQQ currently @ 159.52]

 Benefits: 10-20x potential leverage without margin, dynamic trade management
 Downfalls: Expiration and theta decay; credit risk in case of ETF failure (unlikely)

All said and done, anything involving silver particularly interests me. I plan to implement a mixed strategy using all of the above. Here is a decade chart for SLV.
