Trading the consumer: 4 stocks to buy

The "Fast Money" traders debated whether opportunity still exists in the retail sector as the key ETF gained about 1.5 percent on Friday.

The consumer looks pretty good in the current environment, said trader Karen Finerman, who said she is long Foot Locker and Michael Kors.

"Employed, low gas prices, stable housing prices, low mortgages — it's about as good as you can hope for," she said, adding that she thinks "the risk-reward here is attractive."

Trader Brian Kelly said that while he is more bullish on oil prices, which would lead to a weaker consumer, if he had to pick stocks in the retail sector, he would pick the more beaten down companies like Macy's.

Trader Guy Adami said that Nike might be another attractive option for investors looking for risk-reward.
