Question 1: Grecia from Connecticut said that given the volatility of today's market and with Pepsi Co announcing earnings tomorrow, what consumer non cyclical names should I buy?

Guy Adami answered. He recommended Church & Dwight. (The makers of Arm & Hammer) The stock trades at a high multiple but they have unbelievable consumer brands.


Question 2:
Milosh from New York said that given Chinese oil imports have steadily increased, do you see crude oil & other commodities as a safe haven for volatile equity markets?

Eric Bolling answered. Eric Bolling answered. He said gold, oil and even diamonds are good investments. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a goold place to put your money.

Question 3:
Jeff from California asked whether Healthcare is an essential sector to own for diversification or are there other "recession-proof" sectors that can take it's place, since biotech is dicey and big pharma's pipeline is weak?

Jeff Macke answered. Jeff Macke answered. He said consider Activision and Nintendo . Don't chase these stocks, be conservative on the entry point, but by the end of the year you'll be playing on the Lone Wolf's dollar.

Erik from NY said he lost a lot of weight on The Biggest Loser, but I don't want to lose a lot on the stock market. With the roller coaster ride of the market today is Yum Brands, McDonald's , or Burger King the proper place for me to remain trim?
