The conservative investor will indeed diversify. Always should in fact. But at present stocks and especially tech stocks are far out-performing any other type of investment. Bond yields are very low as are CD's so where do you put your money for anything better than a mid single digit annual gain? That is why stocks HAVE to be where the money goes. At least a great deal of it. If you're worried about a recession simply hedge. Either with defensive stocks, oil or puts. Frankly though I think it's a little too early to bail this market. But you can make preparations. And there's no more solid stock in tech than IBM now so I'd hold it for at least $124. That has been a resistance point in the past. However sometime this year I expect it to make a run at $150.
