How to trade the consumer: 4 stocks to buy

The "Fast Money" traders looked for opportunities in consumer stocks after Nike's future orders disappointed Wall Street on Tuesday.

Trader David Seaburg said that Adidas is a company to consider as it gains market share in North America. He also said he would stay away from Nike at this point.

Trader Guy Adami said he likes trading the credit card issuers like MasterCard and Visa because the move "speaks to the changing patterns that the consumer is spending."

Trader Pete Najarian said that TJX Companies is in a "sweet spot" as a play on the consumer. He explained that discount retailers do well even when consumers are doing better. Najarian said that some of these discount retailers are doing a good job of building their online experiences.
