7 Top Performing Stocks in Consumer Staples

One of the best ways to find a good bullish trade during a period of market uncertainty is find a sector that is outperforming the market and then find the the cream of the crop in that sector.  One sector I have had my eye on the last 6 months is Consumer Staples.  Over the last 6 months Consumer Staples (XLP) has been has been at the top of the list of bullish sectors.  You can see the  appeal to buying and trading companies in this sector.  Who doesn't shop Wal-Mart?  or buy products from Proctor and Gamble?  The fact is this sector provides a good defense against down turns in the market.
