Steer clear of housing and lenders for now -- Doug says it's too soon to buy depressed shares like Beazer Homes (NYSE: BZH) and Citigroup (NYSE: C). Newspaper stocks like USA Today publisher Gannett (NYSE: GCI) will fall further as well -- it's still too early to buy.
So where should you put your money instead? Take refuge in the big technology companies, Doug says. With new products and expanding markets, giants like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Cisco Systems (NYSE: CSCO) can stiff-arm any recession to come.

Totally agree. Near future doesn't look good...consider that the dollar is the weakest in decades, significant credit problems are bombing major banks, oil is around $90 predicting a major gasoline price increase soon, home foreclosure numbers are bad and growing, housing is literally frozen and falling, grocery and energy prices are soaring with electricity and natural gas expected to go up 15-20% this winter, the huge illegal alien problem remains, medical costs are jumping, and manufacturing jobs continue to go overseas...
and we have a $12 BILLION A MONTH war full of corruption we can't seem to win.
