Defensive Posture Stocks

Stocks built to hold their ground when the market gets rough.

Not every day is a rally. When SPY slips, most stocks slide right along with it, but a select few keep steady or even climb. ManVsMarket's Defensive Posture board finds those stocks every evening, so you have a list ready before the market turns.

Each stock earns a Defense Score built around one question: how does it behave when the market is weak? ManVsMarket looks at:
- How often it closed up on days SPY fell, over the last 60 down days
- How calm it trades, avoiding stocks whose daily swings have suddenly spiked
- How it is holding up against the overall market trend

To keep the list clean:
- Only stocks flat or higher over the last 5 sessions
- No stocks with earnings due within 3 days, so a report can't blindside you
- Any name that has fallen more than 10% since it first appeared comes off the board

The top defensive names come with an entry read (in buying range, wait for a dip, or extended), their profit per share since the first buy alert, the first and last time each one appeared, and a one-click chart. When a stock drops off the board, ManVsMarket tells you why.

When the market wobbles, know which stocks are standing tall.
