Value in Financials stocks fell 1.7 percent in the week ending June 4 from the previous week.

The strongest performing Financials company in Indiana was Monument Circle Acquisition Corp. (MON:NAQ), sitting 105.9 percent higher to sell at $9.8.

American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. (AMAO:NAQ) fared the worst among Indiana companies, suffering a 96.6 percent drop to $10.14.

Among Corydon companies, First Capital Inc. (FCAP:NAQ) saw the biggest fall in value of 45.8 percent in the week ending June 4.

The Energy sector was the week’s best-performing sector on the market. The market is divided into 11 different sectors.

Consumer Staples 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.
