Graphic_arrow1 Via Long Investment Ideas from Seeking Alpha:  

Proctor & Gamble (PG) is one of the largest consumer goods manufacturers in the world, providing goods from household toiletries to food and batteries. You might recognize some of their most popular brands such as Crest, Tide and Pringles.

Given the current state of the equity markets, an investment in the Consumer Staples sector is something that any investor can/should have in order to limit their risk and volatility with this market. With a consumer recession likely within the next few months, most people will not be buying their high-end gadgets and gizmos. But I can guarantee you consumers will still buy their household goods because I’m sure they will still want clean clothes and clean teeth regardless of the state of the economy.
