Stock Market Report January 26th 2012

If you’re overseas, likely you’re going to think that Barack Obama is rather going to be a good choice to be President of the United States for another four years if you want the investments that would be good. Those in the US who know Obama all too well are rather going to lean towards Mitt Romney. And Newt Gingrich is not inspiring investor confidence pretty much any way you slice it.

Still will any of them be good choices? Or are there any good choices? It does seem like only a steady hand and a long time is going to really inspire the winds of change in this country, where we need some healing. And if there is any healing, it is going to be something that is going to be more long term to say the very least. It is not going to just lead to instant healing.

The election will be a key, but not the key. There are other factors, the President of the United States is only one man. Granted, he is an extremely important man, but he’s not the only one.

The rapidly weakening housing data is really something that is going to put a hurt right on the economy. That caused a huge slip right in the market. And it just seems to be on a downward trend. 2012 is just rather feeling like a year that will have more lows than highs, but regardless, January really is going to be a mixed bag often.

Dow Jones: 12,727.54(-21.42)

S and P 500: 1,318.49(-7.56)
