Consumer Stocks

Consumer Stocks are those of companies that make everything from cars to toilet paper.

The consumer sector in the stock market generally is broken into two parts:

durables
non-durables

Durables include appliances and furniture, things that last a long time.

Non-durables include food, alcohol and tobacco - products that consumers use regularly and replace frequently.

Non-durables often fall into the Growth Stock category. Because consumers will not stop eating or drinking just because the economy slows down. But they might think twice before buying a new television.

Any of the stock trading systems may work well for you, depending what strategy fits you and your personality.

It should be noted that the consumer sector is an important one, as consumer spending accounts for about 2/3 of the economic output.
