2008 no longer looks as bright to the Fed as it did last October. It has lowered its GDP growth rate estimate, and raised the figures for unemployment and inflation. The figures are not as bad for 2009 and 2010, but who knows what the Fed could think as those years draw closer?
Emotional reports of foreclosures and sub-prime crimes by wealthy executives have dominated stock market news for some time now. Could months of indignation have clouded our judgments of the whole housing situation?
Could there be more than what skeptic observers make of Richard Branson flying one of his Virgin aircraft on a bio-fuel blend? The flamboyant entrepreneur from across the Atlantic has defended his venture to reduce the fossil fuel effects of his airline stoutly. He insists that his passion is about more than just his stock value!
Word is out that the stimulus may last the economy one night or less. There may be little that you can do to make the government cut spending; why gripe anyway, if a check will shortly be in your mail? Some of the stimulus may be for your children; you should use every windfall to close high-interest debts as well. However, what if you are free of sub-prime, and have no family responsibilities either? Will you blow your check on that dream encounter with an electronic toy? The NYSE and most of its peers in the stock market world have plenty of goodies in which you can invest for sustainable financial returns.
Who knows when Fidel’s retirement will get the economy of Cuba moving again? Some stock market quarters have begun to buy everything with the word ‘Cuba’ in its name, but some of these stocks have more business in friendly Caribbean isles, rather than in and around Havana.
Should we care? Why can’t global types use online trading and leave each stock market to its own devices? Well, that is not how markets operate anymore.
Real estate and apartments could be better! At least one Guru Trader has said that trading is like gambling, but could that be a curve ball? Many stock market web sites offer to train novices; those resources suggest that a trader can use a proper system to pick stock for short-term gains.
