The period of financial crisis divided into two periods: contraction period and recovery period. Hypothesis: (1) there are differences of stock performance between the durable goods and the nondurable goods during each of contraction period and recovery period; (2) there are differences of stock performance between recovery period and contraction period for each of durable goods and nondurable goods. The result of this research showed that: (1) the stock performance of durable goods is insignificantly different than nondurable goods neither for contraction nor recovery period; (2) the stock performance is significantly difference between contraction and recovery period for each of durable goods and nondurable goods. These result was consistant to prior research.
