Defensives - The Big Play in 2010

Its time to ditch the trash - The banks, the cyclicals (except perhaps miners) and get into defensives.

Globally 2010 will be a tough year. The stocks to own going forward are large caps, high yielding, cash rich, multinationals.

Sectors such as food retailers, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, utilities, telecoms.

I have read this theme alot and there could well be merit in it. I trust you won't mind my saying that trying to guess strategy outcomes in this way is difficult, and often fruitless and particularly so for the private investor. If interested, I have developed and follow defined methods of stock selection and you can read them through the link provided below. If of interest, there is a 30-day free trial to the site before you have to subscribe. I am more interested in what works rather than the latest buzz theme (no offense intended).
