directv is doing just fine::
So DirecTV(DTV Quote - Cramer on DTV - Stock Picks) is as close to a "consumer staple" provider as any "consumer discretionary" firm might hope to be.
Analysts expect DirecTV's earnings per share to increase 15.5% to $1.35 for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31 from $1.20 a year earlier. Bleak prospects for the overall economy haven't discouraged analysts from forecasting a 28.1% gain for the current year, to $1.78 per share.
