Posted by Elle on June 29, 2008, 3:45 pm > If banks continue to suffer, which business categories > benefit? Been pondering this one since it was posted. A sobering query indeed. Banks suffering means, as I know you and others know, that credit is in short supply, and so the economy tends to stagnate. People live cheaper. I'd argue for trying staples supporting economical food and shelter. For food, examples are CPB, GIS, HNZ, UL et al. In the vein of Sausage's somber list, the beer industry might be worthwhile, as the masses seek to drown their sorrows cheaply. For shelter, maybe see REITs with low cost rental apartment complexes in their lists. Some of these are drug down pretty cheap. -------------------------------------- Misc.invest.financial-plan is a moderated newsgroup where Moderators strive to keep the conversations on-topic for financial planning.
