There will always be external shocks where no stocks will be "immune". This is the lesson of all recession/market crash. The only question you have to answer in times like these is, do you panic and sell? hold as you believe your stock is "defensive" enough to weather the storm? or Buy more. As the saying goes, "Be fearful when others is greedy, be greedy when others are fearful." Seems to work well for Warren Buffett. I brought VTS on the threat of nuclear war btw little kim and trump on 2nd of Feb, 2018. Today they are 50% up. I was rationalising that if nuclear war happened tomorrow, I probably won't need that money anyway.
