Roger, I think you should have put that last paragraph in all-caps.
People often get so caught up in hedging, or positioning to take advantage of a recession or downturn (a difficult thing to do), that they forget that the goal in managing an investment portfolio is not merely to avoid shrinking it (although that is VERY important), but to grow it over time.
Choosing the risks to take and positioning a portfolio for a brighter future has got to be the goal, and downside protection merely a strategy to avoid the avoidable losses. Downside protection never grew a portfolio to the sky.
