WHAT makes a stock "recession proof"? It depends on who you ask. Some analysts might say consumer staples, telcos and transport companies qualify because food, communication and daily travel will always be needed no matter what the state of the economy is, others may say Reits because of their dividend yields.
Yet other analysts may point to gold-linked companies or healthcare firms, while there also are those who say no sector can be considered completely recession-proof.
