This is an interesting question because individually this question can mean different things for different individuals
From a defensive standpoint you may think stocks such as consumer essentials like NYSE:COST, NYSE:MCD, NASDAQ:SBUX or NYSE:CL
From a technical perspective you may think cannot go a day without my technology, stocks like$Apple(AAPL)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $NFLX
If you are more familiar with the underlying technology you may think cloud computing, security, semi conductors, database you may think the front end technology will not work without these $AMZN, $PLTR, $CRWD,$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , $ORCL
I guess we now live in such a complex world, it's like different micro services all working together to serve the end user or consumer but when you give this question a deeper thought makes you wonder.
Why are we thinking the basics 🧐 ?
Ofcourse the essentials are always a safer bet in volatile climate and the current times have been a little uncertain, Trumps win has fuelled optimism in the market but the underlying concerns of inflation, high interest rates, wars and conflicts, valuation and growth, cost of upgrading infrastructure to fuel AI and innovation create a bit on unease in the mind of some investors.
