  • Ten Winners For the New Consumer - Barron's  [View article]
    A typical individual investor can't really benefit from this type of information, unless they have the know-how (and maybe some luck) to pick 1-2 from the list of ten.

    If they buy all ten stocks, then the basket will likely track the sector ETF for Consumer Discretionary (XLY) pretty closely, as one bad story can pull down the results of the other nine.

    Personally, a covered call strategy with XLY (perhaps selling LEAP calls at 10%-15% out of money strike) could beat this basket in total return, as you capture significant portion of the total return from call premiums.
