Harbinger Group Inc (HRG): You Might Not Have Heard of These Electronic-Equipment Companies

But there is hope here if you’re into contrarian plays. Sony Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) has pledged to plow 30% more into its marketing budget and go for the same profitability it saw during the early Playstation days. Time will tell how this goes, but there is something here if you’ve got the guts to endure more potential bad news.

The Foolish bottom line

There are opportunities in the consumer-electronics sector if you’re willing to look and stick out the less-awesome possibilities. Some surprises are bad, but there is room for growth in these companies and their stocks. This isn’t a “safe and secure” place for your money, but with study and risk tolerance there is a decent chance of gains if you’re a hardcore contrarian.
