Well if the market does go lower you really have two choices. You buy stocks that are still in a serious growth mode that can weather the storm with solid earnings or you go 100% cash. I am just not a believer that metals are going to save the day. At one time they were a save haven but I think that side of the metals trade has come and gone. Many miners are still feeling the hurt on their earnings and cash flow from the debt they took on when gold was flying high. If the market really tanks many of these miners could very well follow suit. The other area that might be worth watching would be healthcare and consumer staples stocks. They seem to hold in there when markets drop.
