Let {X,X (k) : k >= 1} be a sequence of extended negatively dependent random variables with a common distribution F satisfying EX > 0. Let tau be a nonnegative integer-valued random variable, independent of {X,X (k) : k >= 1}. In this paper, the authors obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for the random sums S-tau = (n=1)Sigma(tau) X-n to have a consistently varying tail when the random number tau has a heavier tail than the summands, i.e., P(X > x)/P(tau > x) -> 0
