American Stock Market

It would appear that the stock market is going to hit the 14,000 market sometime this year. The market continues to hit new highs despite the housing market being down. The only thing that ccould keep the market from reaching this pinnacle would be interest rates.

More than ever before more people are buying stocks. I myself have bought some additional shares in Alternative Fuels. Even though ethanol is still in its infancy, people are starting to look at it as way to invest in its future. This buying of or investing in has been fueled by the rising prices in the oil industry.

I am not one for telling people to invest or how to invest. However, I do think that is a good idea to explore the opportunities that currently exsist for investing. In todays world, with commissions being reduced, it is very easy to invest in some stocks. You can do this by way of an online broker, through a 401k plan at work, or even setting up your own. If the stock market continues to grow, so could individual investments.

Blueberries

I write part time for a content producer. The other day I did an article on Blueberries. Now how American is Blueberries? I learned a lot about the Blue Fruit. Most Blueberries come from our northern states. There are 38 States that grow Blueberries. They have more antioxidants in them than any other vegetable or fruit. Antioxidants are radical killers. In one way, they are like the Pac man eater. This is good for slowing the aging process. Studies in lab rats have shown that by eating a cup of Blueberries a day, your mental process is stronger.

The reason blueberries cost more in the winter at the market is because they are imported from South America. Fresh blueberries are better than dried or frozen. However, any type of Blueberry is good for your health. Blueberries are a lot of times associated with the Fourth of July for their blue color. Which brings me to my conclusion that Blueberries are a strong part of Americana.
