  1. Interested to know if things hit the fan tomorrow and we went from a recession "which were in now" to a complete depression what 3 securities would you go long on and what 3 securities would you short right away.
     
  2. Longs would be:

    - Suburban Propane (SPH)
    - Southern Company (SO)
    - Lincoln Electric Holdings (LECO)

    Shorts would be:

    - General Electric (GE)
    - Bank of America (BAC)
    - Macy's (M)
