Where to put money in turbulent times...

Apologies if this has been posted before. It was interesting to me. Further apologies to the CNN Money detractors on this board. I still found the article interesting, albeit broad and commonsensical.

My take home message:

"We offer our advice with a big proviso: If you already have a sound, highly diversified portfolio spread across a wide variety of U.S. and foreign large-cap, value, and small-company stocks, you're already positioned to withstand and even profit from market shocks. In that case, we recommend that you do nothing. Simply stay with your plan."

Yep ... me too. If you are not here ... you should be.

Another take: buy financial sector stocks while they are cheap; increase holding of international stocks.
