Value in Consumer Services stocks fell 1.3 percent in the week ending Aug. 13 from the previous week.

The strongest performing Consumer Services company in Arizona was Mister Car Wash Inc. (MCW:NYQ), sitting 206 percent higher to sell at $10.96.

Universal Technical Institute Inc. (UTI:NYQ) experienced the smallest increase in share price among Arizona companies, rising 6.1 percent to sell at $6.83.

The Media industry was the week’s best-performing industry on the market. The market is divided into 45 different industries.

Telecommunications Service Providers was the worst-performing industry.

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.
