the stocks that will survive a depression

I listened to a very interesting program on the BBC World Service the other day about the areas of the economy that will survive in a depression.

I remember one mentioning the word "coke".

Now I presume he meant the drink, not the drug.

Perhaps we could see a coke driven recovery.

So does this mean that Coke a cola Amitel's stock price will rise in 09?

The other interesting aspect of the discussion was the fact that we all need to eat. So I think McDonalds's was mentioned and indeed other "fast food" companies. These stocks I think are only available in the US Dow Jones.

Perhaps Woolies could be a good defensive stock to hold here.
