<prompt> Human: I hear that a recession is cyclical, every 14 years or so, and were almost due for another. Mine is with wells fargo, what can I do to prevent it losing value if the market drops?  <response>: Recessions dont work like that. If people could predict them, they would. But, they cant.The things you would do to keep from losing value in a recession will keep you from gaining value when not in a recession.You usually just keep doing what you are doing.
