7 Stocks That Can Buck This Recession

Stock #1: ConAgra (CAG)

Even with the U.S. economy in trouble, there is one thing that you can count on people purchasing — food.

ConAgra (CAG) is one company that should benefit from this trend. CAG is the leading branded food company with some pretty familiar products, including Healthy Choice, Chef Boyardee, Egg Beaters, Hunt’s, Orville Redenbacher, PAM and Banquet.

I’m betting that a number of these brands can be found in your cupboards and refrigerators. CAG’s consumer brands can be found in 96% of U.S. households. The company has also expanded its reach to outside of the U.S. with its international food segment supplying 40 global brands to 110 countries, including Canada, Mexico, Japan and China.
