That is just price. <br /><br />Defensive stock does not mean that they have ironclad stock prices. <br /><br />Indeed for some investors, they would take advantage of weakness in prices to accumulate. :)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602023866179666640.post-67114934555521502322011-12-10T22:23:34.221+08:002011-12-10T22:23:34.221+08:00Hi AK71,(Excuse me CW),

They all seems to be "very boring stocks" Actually if you follow a market long enough you will "instinctively' know which are the defensive stocks. Mr Market will tell you so.<br />My 2 cents.<br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602023866179666640.post-19616016771781967312011-12-10T22:13:06.250+08:002011-12-10T22:13:06.250+08:00From Wikipedia:
