    So, since everyone seems to think we are doomed to go into a recession, what is the proper way to invest during said recession? If your young, do you just keep buying cheap or do you go into high dividend stocks? I'll probably just keep on keeping on. Suggestions?

    I thought about that but you kind of negated your own answer. I'm probably just going to stay the course and stay heavy international. I don't think, in today's world, that international economies are tied as strongly to the US economy. Sure, there are still ties, but not as strong as before and they can continue on while the US works this stuff out.

    Exactly the wrong thing to do.

    I'm gonna keep on keeping on, for now. If we actually do enter a recession officially, it will be brought down by housing. At that point, housing is the thing to buy. Find the bottom and buy.

    VP, if you read what I wrote without the animosity you might learn something.

    Honestly, you guys aren't worth my time, most of the time.

    Relax, genius, it was a joke. And just to let you know, I never read anything here with any animosity.

    Considering where and who I work for though, it's kind of funny that you are trying to lecture me on the housing bubble. :euro:
