Last week we saw the most promise in the economy since the recession began. Wall Street totals began to skewer over the last two months and everything seems to be in place for a rise. Unfortunately, traders were so cautious that the spike was confusing that they under sold and the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 156 points. The four banks the government said were tough enough to endure a worse economy just turned to Wall Street to sell extra stocks in order to pay the government off, and they are going to trade fine, strengthening the financial institutions.
Some analysts trust this is a small retreat after a great run, a good sign in a recuperating economy. In fact, a healthy economy jerks up and down the scale a small bit as investors and traders get relaxed again. Despite the mistakes the government has made and the large, failing companies, the economy does seem to be getting well again. One key point is that as currency loses value and becomes less safe, gold becomes the alternate investment, and prices skyrocket. It is no secret the price of gold hit record highs during this recession. Gold prices are now going downward.
If gold can even out where it was when the economy was healthier, life will be beautiful. Watch the gold prices. If gold goes down any further, especially in a constant downward motion, it is time to sell and invest in stocks, because the stock market is rising up the opposite direction. If anyone has invested in gold, now is the time to sell it, because gold is still technically at a record high, whereas the stock market is at record lows. Sell your gold and/or begin investing in the market again. A multitude of buyers and eager activity strengthens the economy, and if you get in on the ground floor, you can ride it up, like the clever investors you are. Bonds are also getting stronger. Keep an eye on both stocks and bonds, especially if you have gold to sell. That’s the way to ride the market back up.
At the same time, economies have always seen high points and gone right back where they were. No recession is finished until the afflicted economy has shown a habit of much higher numbers and job recreation. Right now, we still have an normal unemployment of around eight or nine percent. The high point here is that we have been holding a balanced unemployment rate and the economy has essentially bottomed out. When the only way to go is up, that is likely what you will do, If the economy does revive soon, it will be in spite of the efforts of Wall Street, corporate America, and even the government.
Director of derivatives investment strategy for WJB Capital Group in New York, Scott Fullman, noted that the Dow has risen about 30 percent since March, about twice as much as the market might do in a full year of beefy gains. “To take a break here is healthful,” he said. Enter disagreement from Christian Bendixen, director of technical research at Bay Crest Partners LLC in New York, who said the economy remains uneasy beyond what many analysts admit and that he expects the market will stumble again and perhaps breach the lowest levels of early March.
In demanding times such as these, America deserves fiscal responsibility and a integrated society bent on resurrecting the market. America has yet to see either. The government is giving away tax money like it is indispensible, and that is hurting the market. It is likely that the economy would be much more capable without the ‘bailouts’ last year and early this year. Every time a financial bill was passed, the economy would sink lower in anticipation. The greed of the corporations has not helped either. In the words of country music artist John Rich, in his new song, “They’re selling make believe and we don’t buy that here.” When America doesn’t buy rhetoric from the lawmakers and economic “powers-that-be,” the economy suffers. That’s why the economy is still so awful and America is latching onto any sparkle of a reviving stock market, whether it is a sound movement toward prosperity or a candle in the wind.
