[QUOTE="Greed, post: 363148"] Blah...nothing is recession proof. We've had recessions based on a multitude of variables. Right now it's the sub-prime mess coupled with the housing bubble bursting and $144/barrel oil. I do agree that some stocks have been beaten up a bit too much. If you look at "beta"/risk or a comparison between S&P500 dropping 13% YTD there are some good bargains out there for high quality stocks. At $58 a share, I'd say UPS is a pretty safe bet or even moreso...GE. GE has been obliterated and is down to $26 a share and could easily pop to $40+ in the next year (which would yield you a 54% return + a 4.5% div yield for a total return of 58.5%) Just some food for thought.....however....the fed was thinking the recession would subside by Q3 & Q4 of this year...now it's looking like early to mid 2009 things may turn around. Not a good time to sell, but a good time to buy....selectively. You should all be dollar-cost averaging!! Buy shares low now...and get more shares for your $. [/QUOTE]
