Defensive stocks for the more cautious
If your investment horizon is several years, it is perhaps not so important whether you invest in cyclical stocks, or the more defensive stocks. Yet it may be worth to take a closer look at the defensive stocks as you get closer to the time when you plan to make use of your savings.
