How Have You Fared In The Recession?

Thursday, July 30, 2009:

So . . . how have you fared during the last two years of recession?  What investments have you made to counter the adverse effects of the economic slump?  Did you buy gold?  Stocks? Land? Antiques?  Guns? Did you hunker down and place all your eggs in the CD basket?

In case you haven’t noticed,  it’s not just the economy (duh?).  There’s an equal amount of social, cultural, and political upheaval going on right here at home – not to mention international tension with the potential for an explosion of new challenges.

So – I really want to know!  What approach have you taken to improve your investments during this difficult period?  Have you “doubled down” and really focused on protecting and growing your assets, or backed off in a defensive mode to wait out the worst of it?
