Stock Market Report 1/23/12: Stocks at Lowest Value in Two Decades


New week for the Stock Market and a full five day week this week, starting on Monday January 23rd 2012 and it was quite the interesting day on Wall Street today, with a rather shaky stock market throughout the day. Was this a sign of things to come? We’ll have to keep an eye right on the market this week.


Stock Market Report for January 23rd 2012: Lower Value.

As anyone who has invested any money in the stock market or really has even researched to consider their options, they know that the market tends to rather live and die by any kind of news that makes their way on the market. Today there were slight rallies and slight falls then ended in a slight loss. The most horrifying news, that we should have seen coming was how stocks seem to be lower value, how they are trading in the lowest values of years.

In many circumstances, that actually might be news where it is time to buy but so far, we have not seen a bottom to this current economic fall. There have been times where we have grabbed onto the ledge and peered over the top but in reality, there is just no telling how far we can fall and as horrifying is that how far we can fall is perhaps not the furthest we can yet fall.

Also problems in Europe right now may have an effect. Given that the so called lower unemployment rates at the end of the year was merely a blip before the cold reality of the matter did set in. Banks are still sliding as well and the average American citizens have had to pay dearly for this.

It was not as damning as a day as it could have been on Wall Street but it could remain at a steady slide or it could plummet at this moment. Stocks being at their lowest value in years might be a blessing or a curse. It depends on how investors at large interpret it and act. Time will tell.

Dow Jones: 12,708.82(-11.66)
Nasdaq: 2,787.17(-2.53)
S and P 500: 1,316.00(+0.62)
