Watching The Market, Sources For Stock Market News
For years, if you wanted to know anything about the stock market, you turned to the Wall Street Journal. Today investors turn to many other sources for stock market news.
Do not be mislead, the Wall Street Journal is still in publication. It is comprehensive in its coverage of the markets. It is also a great source of information for investors. You may also find listings for the market in your local newspaper. You should know that there are more sources of news on the market today than just in print.
If you watch cable television, you will also find that many of the news channels will during their broadcasts show a ticker of some of the major stocks. Additionally, you will find channels on your cable that deal with financial news.
For the quickest news on the stock exchange, however, one has to turn no further than the internet. Prices of stocks are known immediately around the world with the advent of the World Wide Web. In addition, we can know what is happening in many of the world markets almost as soon as they happen.
If you have no money invested in the stock market, you may wonder what the big deal is about the market. Before you turn off the news, you better back up and think. Do you have money invested in an IRA or a 401k. Many times these programs as well as many others are directly linked to the stock exchange.
Persons who have lost their jobs in the current economy and been forced to remove the cash that remained in the 401k will find that the amount in this retirement fund today is much less that was in the fund two years ago. That is because your money was invested in the stock market. When the economy went south, so did your money.
