Objective: When the market goes through uncertain times, the plays listed below are those stocks which are able to handle a downturn in the market much better than its peers, and also manage to provide a descent dividend in the process. These are your typical 'safety' plays in a bear market that mutual funds will look to invest their capital in. All of the stocks listed below are large-cap companies.

Ideal Market Conditions: Markets that are trading sideways to down. If you are in a bull market, you will still be able to earn descent returns with the stocks below, but not to the same extent as you would with a growth or small-cap stock.
