Stock Trading Master (OP) User ID: 10046560 United States 04/06/2014 08:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for that. I try to take care of my wife's 403b and the choices are limited. Finding non discretionary is near impossible with her 403. I'm assuming food and energy or does pharma fit here? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 55489839 I feel for you. They limit the choices on purpose. Yes, big pharma (not speculative biotech) non-discretionary as well. Think of it as anything that people will continue to buy even though they are broke, because they have to. In the case of pharma, people will continue to get sick and get diseases, cancer, etc. even if they are broke and, as such, require pharmaceuticals. With ObamaCare being a big boost for pharma, it's a solid non-discretionary choice. |

Thanks for the link. You nailed the point home with the XLU chart. Like it for the more aggressive defensive players, and a straight up Treasury Bond ETF for less aggressive defensive players. |

Good luck, the big guys control so much of the market that by the time we see trouble coming they have already positioned themselves. If you have been able to capitalize on the last 5 year run, sitting on the sidelines won't hurt a bit right now. |

Treasury bonds are a good place to be right now with slow moving money and cash is always king. Good luck brother and stay safe. |

Those benefits might have peaked for now. Happy trading |
