After reading the article I was able to apply the Dow concept to know what that article was talking about when it was talking about stocks. After learning the the Dow has increased about 9% I still knew that doesn't mean the U.S is in safe grounds. Nothing can predict a stock market fully and something can happen just a few weeks from now.
The article was mainly about how the U.S stock market is doing okay now compared to the bear market or decline back in 2000-2002. Even though our stocks have been doing better the national debt with continue to keep us in some depressive state stock market wise. My opinion on the market is that it must be getting better if there are more jobs slowly getting available within the country and I think it will continue to grow but definitely not too much to make a huge difference within the country.
The article states that even though the common misconception of the current status of the NYSE has some valid arguments to its name, the chances of God's Wrath inflicting the United State's economy is beyond unlikely. Yes it's true, we were in a bear market, or a slight recession but we've pulled through. The economy isn't where it was before the fall, but it's just as strong and growing at an average similar to historical values. I believe the economy was in a bad place and is still walking out of that dark alley, but it's recuperating and this recovery will stimulate growth for no only the Unites States but could also drag the world out of the alley along with it.
Following reading this article it made me think of the Dow and it's definition from the web quest. The Dow is an indicator of how stocks are doing on the market.
This article spoke of how the current Stock Market is doing compared to March 2000 and October 2002. The Dow has gained 9% while the S&P 500 has gained more than 8%. And all though everyone is ecstatic over the gains, this has no meaning compared to the national debt.
My opinion about the market is that it needs to continue to grow and better itself or we may truly end up seeing another great depression in our future.
The article was saying that the economy is turning around and that stock and the economy are not always exactly related as the US stock market has been better than China's but China's economy has been doing better than the US's.
The article basically states that the American citizens may be making a big deal out of nothing. Of course our national debt is beyond belief and our unemployment rate is in the double digits, but we are making it through. The market is on a roller coaster and who knows where we will end up, but in my opinion I think the big businesses will find some way to bring in profit and America will be on top again.
Compared to the web quest pretty much every bit of chaos and stress seems accurate to the videos I watched and articles I read. Reading this article makes me even more sure that I will never be a participant in the stock market.
Pretty much, this article is about how the stock market has recovered from its previous crash, and things are looking up for investors. I don't think, though, that people should start throwing their money everywhere and expect to profit from it. With regards to the economy, I'm actually not too surprised by how little stocks are related to it.
