Current stock investment research fortells a coming recession unless the biggest U.S. corporations can pull the economy out of its slump. Can companies like Apple, Microsoft, and the financial institutions pull off this seemingly impossible feat? Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until Tuesday1/22/08) at the latest to see if the markets are going to provide anyone with any kind of appreciable good news. According to a recent article from Reuters, "Earnings (this) week are the only thing that the market has to hang its hat on. With the market in such a fragile condition, those earnings better be good or we could see some severe selling," Richard Sparks, senior equities analyst with Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati, said on Friday." So, if you're looking for hot stocks to watch, you would be well-advised to stand pat and wait until there's some action either up or down on Wall Street. What I'm trying to say here is that your stock investment research this week needs to include more than just info from free stock market quotes, but should include a component of patience. Adopt a wait-and-see attitude and you'll be better off.
