I honestly don't like this industry much, so nothing interesting for me.
If I had to choose from this sector, it would probably be $NKE+0.1% stock, but I don't find it interesting either and don't want it in my portfolio.
Doesn't look bad, but the stock is pretty high right now unfortunately.
The view falls in very nicely. I'll take a closer look, thanks!
