Stock Market Report 1/17/12: Markets Creep Up


Another short way has begun this week on Wall Street on Tuesday January 17th 2012, with the Stock Market up slightly throughout the day. While not a steep rise, any kind of rise for the Stock Market is something that many investors should really feel rather interested about.


Stock Market Report for January 17th 2012

Investors as it seems are not putting any money into stocks due to them being a faulty investing. Which may be prudent by some angles, as they sure aren’t losing any money. However, it does not really seem as if they are going to making all that much money. In fact, the market seems to be rather smaller, given the fact that people out there are purchasing less. As a result, companies are really reducing the stocks that are being offered on the market, where people can invest into them.

It is rather tricky to see where we stand on this day and in this particular market. Gains are steady, but losses seem to also be bouncing right back up. To watch the Stock Market, it does seem like it raises up and down. The fact is, investor confidence may be a tiny bit stronger at this point in time, but it is just merely an illusion and no end it sight.

There will be no magic fix for the economy. Any attempts made to do so by the government have been met with some rather mixed results in general. The government seems to have not been able to do anything to ease the bleeding of the economy. If any, it has gotten worse. Blame can be thrown towards anyone you can think of but in the end, the economic spiral has been a collective effort over the years.

So is now the time to invest? Well whether dividends are paying off well within certain stocks, if it is going to return in some way, we will have no idea.

In the end, gains and rises happen, not like a roller coaster, but like a teeter totter in 2012. Let’s keep one eye on the market and hope that it will be a sign for happy days for the ninety nine or so percent of us that are struggling. Until next time, remember to invest wisely.
