I have been pessimistic about the situation of things to come for a long time now except for commodities. Its likely your only hope of staying ahead. As for a full fledged recovery by 2011 likely no in 2011 peak oil sets in and 2012 medicare goes bankrupt.
Look at Japan their stock market is now less than 1/2 of the level from 1987 because their government bandaided their banking and real estate bubble and it still looks like it won't recover.
We all here are more adept at saving money but unfortunately money is the thing you don't want to hold. You need to pay for things now if you can that you will need later.
