In the recent "volatility", what didn't go down?

Foreign ETF's of every kind, mining stocks, my AUS bond fund - what long term investment didn't plunge? Everything seems hopelessly tied together.

Almost everything goes down in a down market - sooner or later. There will always be a stock or a group that bucks the tend but it's almost impossible to know in advance which one(s), and it's too risky and expensive to try to find out with your own money.

The opposite is true, though: almost everything is going up right now, so your job is to find stocks/groups that will appreciate the most.

The DJIA is about 1% off its all time high.
