The economic headlines seem crazed recently, offering mixed reactions to the rising price of fuel, the increasing number of home foreclosures and the declining value of the American dollar-all of which causes daily instability in the stock market. We are left asking hard questions, like how does Chinese investment influence the value of U.S. currency? What are the full ramifications of the high cost of oil, from manufacturing costs and transportation prices (and thus the cost of shipping and traveling), down to the cost of milk at the grocery store? Is the Fed reacting as it should to prevent a recession? And what are the emerging investment options in this market?
