 My strategy this year since it was "OBVIOUS" that we were moving into a recession was to pick funds in sectors that tend to do better than the S&P 500 in a recession.  I think I'm presently down -7%.  SPY is -5% year to date and, of course, everyone was wrong we still aren't in a recession.  And with the rebate money hitting, we may not even enter one this year.  So much for timing the market.  Everyone is now telling us how deep and bad it's going to get.  It can't come soon enough for my failed timing guess here.  So much for conventional wisdom.  Which is why my wife and I have the bulk of our portfolio in a well diversified buy and hold.
