3 Stocks You Don't Realize You Use Every Day
With the market's recent volatility keeping investors on edge, the familiarity and reliability of consumer staples stocks might seem tailor-made for times like these.
You should be familiar with the products these companies make, and you probably have some of them in your home. Consumer staples are considered non-discretionary, which means they're goods you simply aren't going to go without -- food, toiletries, soap, etc. On the other hand, consumer discretionary stocks would be things like apparel or travel. These are sensitive to the economy: When things are going great, people splurge, but when times are bad, they cut spending. That's why consumer staples are especially attractive right now.
While you are self-quarantining at home, you won't have to go far to find some investment ideas.
