Watch The Stock Market News

By Michael Swanson

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.

Cable television news shows will often show information on the market at least once during their repeated broadcasts. The news is generally shown in a ticker that trails across the bottom of you television screen. Additional, you will be able to find special shows that just follow the market.

The quickest place to find stock market news is on the internet. Stock prices are updated several times each day and on some websites, you can find what the stock is trading for immediately. Additionally, you can also check out the world market and find information almost as quickly as you can for the American stock exchanges.

Perhaps you think the market does not affect you. Think again. The prices in the market will determine your cost of living. If you have money tied up in a 401K or an IRA, chances are that your money is directly tied to the stock market. The growth of those funds only happens when the market is increasing.

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.

Knowing stock market news lets you keep an eye on your investments. - 23212
