Value in Financials stocks fell 1.2 percent on June 1 from the previous day.

The strongest performing Financials company in Indiana was Simon Property Group Acquisition Holdings Inc. (SPGS:NYQ), sitting 125,433.5 percent higher to sell at $9.8.

First Capital Inc. (FCAP:NAQ) fared the worst among Indiana companies, suffering an 84.7 percent drop to $34.8.

Among Corydon companies, First Capital Inc. (FCAP:NAQ) saw the biggest fall in value of 84.7 percent on June 1.

The Basic Materials sector was the daily best-performing sector on the market.

Telecommunications was the worst-performing sector.

Healthcare and technology stocks are viewed as the safest bets for long-term gains.

Besty Kuekcer with Benzinga.com said healthcare-related stocks, such as hospital conglomerates and insurance companies, have weathered numerous economic crises and still make a profit, suggesting that they are generally a stable investment.

While technology stocks can be more risky, given the boom-bust nature of new tech companies, Kuecker recommended a diverse portfolio of tech companies to strike it big when companies succeed or sell to other larger companies.

For short-term investments, Kuecker recommended “consumer discretionary” stocks, which are sensitive to economic changes but can rise greatly on the back of a strong economy.
