Value in Industrial Engineering stocks rose 6.1 percent in the week ending Oct. 29 from the previous week.

The strongest performing Industrial Engineering company in Indiana was Hillenbrand Inc. (HI:NYQ), sitting 2.9 percent higher to sell at $44.04.

Cummins Inc. (CMI:NYQ) fared the worst among Indiana companies, suffering a 52.1 percent drop to $244.78.

The Finance and Credit Services industry was the week’s best-performing industry on the market. The market is divided into 45 different industries.

Beverages 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.
