Also, have some put protection in place along with owning the underlying stocks, Najarian counsels. And even if the recession doesn't play out names that I think will perform well either way include Merck (MRK), Dow Chemical (DOW), Monsanto (MON) and Procter & Gamble (PG).
I agree, says Guy Adami, of course it depends on where we are in the cycle. It’s quite possible that by spring Monsanto, as well as Freeport McMoRan (FCX) and Potash (POT) could all go a lot higher...from cnbc.com
