    By John Timmes - May 22, 2013 | Tickers: CAG, K, HSY

    Consumer staple companies manufacture and sell products such as food, beverages, tobacco, and household items.  They are products that consumers are unable of unwilling to cut from their budgets.  These stocks are considered non-cyclical because the overall economy will not impact consumer demand.

    By Jayson Derrick - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: FIO, K, SBUX

    Earnings season is a great time for investors to reevaluate their investments. These three companies didn’t necessarily have good quarters, or impressive years so far, but have substantial upside based on a changing macro-economic environment or corporate structure.
