Stocks Off the Bottom

After the downdraft earlier this week in the markets, stocks began climbing their way back up again, led by some of the most recently battered groups, such as retail, financials, and even the woebegone homebuilders. Kohl’s, Inc., (NYSE: KSS) is one retailer which got a bounce back this week. Kohl’s had earlier descended as low as 37.31 a share for a twelve-month low, off from its twelve-month high of 79.55.

Market Risk Still There

Even though the major market averages have all rallied this week after the Fed easing, history shows that investors may not necessarily be out of the woods just yet. In the face of the subprime mortgage crisis, which is still winding its way through the economy, and the subsequent problems for not only the mega-banks such as Citigroup (NYSE: C) but for regional banks as well, the homebuilding industry’s record woes, and the prospect of the consumer pulling in his horns, or at least holstering their credit cards, underlying economic problems may yet do more than tug gently on stocks.…

Growing World Population Puts Strain on Energy Sources, Makes Renewable Energy Firms a Good Investment in the Coming Years

With global population expected to reach 9 billion in 2050, it is sure to put an increasingly large amount of strain on already overextended natural resources. It is almost a sure thing that this pressure will cause steep inflation as the many commodities that were relatively cheap become scarce. This inflation will also no doubt make long-term bonds less attractive as interest rates will have to rise to keep up with inflation.

Those companies focused on renewable energy and recycling resources could potentially provide investors with extremely profitable investments. A…
