Defense Wins Ballgames; 3 Stocks That Will Bulletproof a Portfolio

It’s no secret that 2022 has been rough sailing in the market. Supply chain bottlenecks, soaring energy prices, geopolitical issues, and a hawkish Fed have turned investors’ sentiment sour, slashing the valuations of many companies.

Believe it or not, there have been plenty of stocks throughout 2022 that have yielded investors considerable gains while easily outpacing the general market.
