In light of the gloomy second quarter stock market results, which saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 7.4 percent, investors are no doubt reassessing their portfolios, searching for a market sector that may provide some light at the end of the tunnel. However, the reality is that in the current bear market there are very few safe ports to shelter investors from the storm.
Had a bad day on the stock trading ring? Take off your shoes. Get a drink and something to munch. Sink in to a deep couch. Read this paean to a dream stock investment sector.
This article follows an earlier one this week entitled “Emergency Protection against the Gathering Inflation Storm”. One of our recommendations in that article was to invest in stocks of the Basic Materials Sector.
The housing market and stock have always competed for our savings. Real estate appreciation means just as much as owning a home. The number of homes a person has is an easy way to tell how rich he or she must be. However, there are times when stock can appreciate more than housing. 2008 is probably one such year.
The stock market is inseparable from international politics. Even communists acknowledge the stock exchange reality of modern life. Most US stocks can be owned by foreigners. Washington encourages American investments abroad. Opinions are divided on links between Iraq and our unquenchable thirst for oil. However, there is no doubt that Anti-American interest in Venezuela uses oil trade as a weapon against us. The Russians do the same thing with heating gas for some former units of the Soviet Union. The strategic oil reserve of Alaska is a prime source of US military strength. Energy is a potent stock with over one thousand world listings from coal, oil, gas, and alternative energy enterprises.

Clean Energy Stocks
The new Australian Prime Minister has endorsed the Kyoto Protocol, and a 2009 US President may also move decisively in the direction of clean energy. Green business becomes more popular by the month. The alternative energy area is so full of half-baked business ideas that some observers predict it to be a future bubble that will burst like sub prime. However, there are stocks available for investors who want places in alternative energy without undue capital risks.
