"Climbing the Wall of Worry"

Well, if you’re like us, you’re finally prying your eyes away from the constant coverage of the War in Iraq. Though the world is far from what we would call a safe place, a world without Saddam Hussein in charge of Weapons of Mass Destruction is a safer place and that, for the first time in a long time, is cause for comfort.

At StockUpTicks, we believe that one of the great threats to world peace has been abated, though others persist, and that some relief should enter the market.  One TV analyst called it “climbing the wall of worry.”  Well, the wall is somewhat shorter today.

Does this mean that tomorrow the market will burst forward as a band plays “Happy Days are Here Again?”  No, but we believe that recovery is a process and not an event and that the resolution of the conflict in Iraq was a tremendous step forward in that process.   Now, more than ever, investors would be wise to study the market for opportunity and progress.
