I can almost guarantee you that i
f the United States falls off the "Fiscal Cliff" consumer spending will go down. The middle class may have less money to spend during 2013, $2,000 per household. Well, now is the time to invest in companies which will not be affected by the "Fiscal Cliff" meltdown. Companies which are reliable and turmoil proof!Consumers will not stop eating triple cheeseburgers or chicken wings. They will not stop drinking alcohol, or picking up their prescriptions at their local drug store. Also, since we are addicted to gas, do you think gas companies will lose any business? Additionally, texting is the new addiction and form of communication so you know telecommunication companies will continue to make a boatload of cash, quarter after quarter. Consumers will not stop drinking carbonated beverage nor stop shopping at their local super-duper food markets or discount clothiers. However, I believe credit card companies will become the "Fiscal Cliff" winners. It is statistically shown that consumer's credit card balances have up ticks during recessions and financial instability.
That being said, perform your due diligence on these companies below. If the United States jumps off the "Fiscal Cliff" each company's share price will not drop all that much. I am not a psychic here, however back in 2008 they were very reliable.
Until next time friends, enjoy your day and continue to stash as much cash as you can for your retirement years, preferably in Dividend paying stock! Have a great day!
