In a recent article penned by yours truly, I made the argument that the U.S. economy is already in a recession...even if the powers that be don't want to see it. My argument was fairly simple - unemployment is up, capacity utilization is down, inflation is up, and the Fed is still pushing rates lower. Even if all of those trends were halted right now, the damage has still been done. I want to add another layer of recession evidence today. More importantly, I want to give you a few ideas so you can defend your portfolio just in case any recession cuts deep. |

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, well my friends, it's a duck. I think the same can be said about a recession. Even though our friends down at the National Bureau of Economic Research aren't saying it yet, I'll go ahead and go on record ...I think we're already in a recession. (Insert gasp here.) Before you start cursing at me or stick your head in the oven, let me also say that this isn't inherently a reason to sell stocks. Well, it might be a reason to sell some stocks, but I think it could be a reason to buy other stocks. More on that in a second. |

Are target retirement funds truly the "one decision" solution for people who aren't sure about how to invest their retirement savings? You may own a target retirement fund if you're in a 401(k) plan and you signed up but didn't pick a fund to invest in or you were automatically enrolled. Target retirement funds have become the "default investment" in 401(k) plans and have become popular with individual beginner investors as well. |
