Hmm. Fear of recession. I'll reflect a little. As I've said many times, the question for me (and I would ask others) is and always is, "How long would I/you be in for?" a-priori a stock purchase.

I hadn't considered an alternative. "How long would I (or somebody else) be willing to be out of the market, before committing funds?

Of course it's not so great having stocks that go down in a recession. Even worse maybe is having no funds to buy stocks when those really great bargains seem to appear at that time.

Last time I adjusted my portfolios to raise cash to buy what seemed like better bargains than the stocks I was holding. I might do the same again the next time. Right now though I'm sitting on lots of cash.
Not from fear or caution about a recession. Just not seeing where I want to make big adds to positions or big initial buys of new stocks.

If I had limited funds and had a financial goal for those monies, I'd put all my money now on just a very few stocks where I had a line of sight as to what might happen to the companies' business in future.. "Fear" (of recession)? That's the other guy's problem" (Trading Places)
