It is the observation of this post that the stable and profitable companies to invest in are those involved in serving customer needs rather than wants:   housing, clothing, food, security rather than those that deal in fancy wants, or esoteric products.  So those companies would be in food, food distribution, housing insurance financial services, communication services, expressway, office spaces, retailing etc.
