Food and Beverage Sector Ideas

I am sure I told you the following--- The big internet bear market from March 2000 to October 2002, fueled by massive speculation with internet stocks, the Nasdaq fell 66% and the S&P 500 lost 50%. I did a check on medium and large food stocks an in those same months, they rose like 2% plus dikvidends. I can't get a chart with CVGW going back that far, but JJSF did super. It did lose 1/3 of it's value the first few months, but ended up a double. I don't think I used JJSF in my sample, however. I think I would have remeerd a 2x in those years.

My point, food does offer some safety. CVGW might be a good buy here, even in the face of a majoe bear.

In the 1973 to 1974 bear, I remember the only NY exchange stock up was a fertilizer company, First Mississippi. I remeber that because the town I lived in then had a plant there. Anther disclaimer, I did not check out stocks for safety in the COVID crash.
