Growth is a must have but with rising growth rates, price ratios also go up. You should be careful with stocks that have a P/E ratio over 20 and a huge load of debt. Today, I would like to screen stocks from the consumer goods sector, one of my favorite investment fields. Two-thirds of my personal stock holdings have a relation to the consumer area. I love those stocks especially when they are well managed and pay great dividends.
Consumer stocks are normally characterized by low cyclic stocks which produce solid returns on the invested capital. Nineteen stocks matched my criteria of which fifteen have a current buy or better ratio. Here are my favorite stocks: NIKE (NKE), Ecolab (ECL) and Estee Lauder (EL).
