Consumer
Consumer earnings are coming out and the risk is rising as the US consumer has not recovered even with unemployment dipping and other macro economic factors improving.  With real wages down from six years ago, the US consumer -- arguably the single most important aspect of the world economy, is not spending more money.

Here are two consumer stocks with earnings due out and implied volatility (risk) rising.

The implied volatility is the forward looking risk in the equity price as reflected by the option market (IV30™ looks forward exactly 30 calendar days). In English, the red curve is the risk in future stock price movement.
