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.
