Telecom companies have gained the reputation as safe havens as a majority of their revenues are generated from within the U.S. and less likely to be affected by the current European debt crisis. The S&P 500's telecom sector hit a four-year high on June 18 according to data from Bloomberg.
"What people really flock to in lousy markets is ... recession-resistant industries where they have stable cash flows and products and services that people absolutely cannot live without," said Barry Schwartz, vice-president at Baskin Financial Services Inc.
