Sticking with Staples

Keeping an eye on the relative performance of the Consumer Staples sector is a good way to know whether we’re in a bull or bear market. You can see the massive shift into Staples starting in the last quarter of 2007, just as the credit crisis really started to hit the fan. People will always need diapers, bubble gum, cigarettes, beer, and… Bagel-fuls?

    I hear those Bagel-fuls are good with pork rinds.

    Ugly: They may already have pork rind-flavored ones… I’m holding out for the ones with artificial lox flavoring.
