The Anti-Recession Movement

One of the things that I have made it a point to do over the past year or two has been to focus on what I could invest in to help avoid an impending recession. Those beings things that are not dependent on consumers spending money in order to maintain their earnings growth. Unfortunately, those stocks also get hit in a broad-based selloff like the ones that we have had lately. On a more positive note, they are also the ones that seem to go up the fastest in a rally.

I'm also aware of momentum stocks, but I'll point out Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) in regards to those. When they go wrong, they REALLY go wrong. I'm not a fan of momentum stocks.
