Today the stock
market seems like a rather peaceful day for the most part. Many are keeping their
eyes open for stocks to rather look out from throughout the remainder of 2012.
After a slight dip today, the trading on the Stock Market for February 7th
2012 was a bit more stable. Could the insanity that occurred during the past
decade, with decisions based mostly on fear be gone? Or is it merely a calm
before the storm?
Stock
Market Report 2/7/12: Decade of Fear and Uncertainty
The bigger picture is really
something that didn’t exist in the market, in the economy. People freak out big
time over the most moderate awful news. People scramble in to make a quick buck
when it seems like something is on the upward trend. Buy, buy, buy, sell, sell,
sell, the nature of the market is just something that is up and down. The
bottom fell out in about October of 2008, with the ride going right throughout 2009,
2010, and into a bit into 2011. We still haven’t had much of a turn around but
we have more.
In the end, we live in a society
that is extremely push button and impulsive. That has reflected on the trends
and the trading of the Stock Market. We have dealt with some hope, some dismal
days but really in the end, the stock market has been unstable at times. 2012
offered some hope and the hope tends to be on shaky ground, as we have become
so jaded as to wait for the other shoe to drop.
This week there will be many
stocks to look at, with Coca-Cola, Disney, and Cisco being reported to be among
the top gains. Household names of companies which seem to be on the upward
trend, those that are steady and perhaps on the upward trend. Those who want to
step their toe into the stock market water would do well into looking into
those stocks but anything can happen and will happen.
Will 2012 be a fresh beginning or
a further low? We’ll find out for sure.
