There will be a recession. There will be a recovery. When? None of us know. I have an average return of 8.3% annually for the past 33 years with a very low risk model. I use index funds, set an asset allocation and re balance when ever I am 5% out of balance. Forces me to always sell high and buy low. The S&P has made about that same return but with a significantly higher risk profile.
Using this or similar model you don't really care what the market does or when we have a recession or a recovery. Look up the Bernstein or Yale or other index fund low risk investment models and do some back testing on them. Find one you like and follow it. Then you too will not really care what the media, politicians or investment advisers have to say as they try to hype the markets and cause ups and downs for their benefit.
