Right Now We Investors Know a Lot—Stock Market Has Stability & Hope
By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential
The stock market is showing real strength at this time. A lot of stocks that were hit hard during the market’s recent correction are fighting back and making good progress in their share prices. Consider Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE/CAT), which is an important benchmark stock to follow. The company’s second quarter came in slightly below expectations, then the market began to correct. The stock was around $112.00 and dropped like a stone to $82.00 per share. After experiencing a recovery to just over $90.00 a share, it dropped again to the $80.00-per-share mark. Now the stock has broken past the $93.00-per-share level and its near-term price momentum looks to be intact.

The reality is that it doesn’t matter if you are investing in the real estate market, gold, stocks, art, or antique cars; the best way to protect your wealth is not to put all your eggs into one basket. This is obvious, but I’m surprised at how few investors actually follow this.
