60 Defensive Growth Stocks

 

The accompanying table (click to enlarge) presents my 60 defensive growth stock picks at the recently launched online investing site Inner8.com, which I wrote about.

 

My picks are focused on healthcare and consumer staples, along with some cash rich tech companies such as Microsoft (MSFT). My picks include companies across the entire spectrum of market cap and risk in the biotech industry, ranging from top performers such as Amgen (AMGN) and Celgene (CELG) to small and micro-cap picks such as Discovery Labs (DSCO), Cypress Bio (CYPB), and Javelin Pharma (JAV).

 

Other defensive, large-cap picks include Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Procter & Gamble (PG), Philip Morris International (PM), Abbott Labs (ABT), and Wal-Mart (WMT).

Right now, cash seems to be the best defensive stock. (G)

Small cap stocks, in general, recover better than large cap.
