As prices rose the highest on record during the summer of 2008, oil companies reported record profits. While the oil companies were reporting their financial gains, those at the pump were much less optimistic.

The oil bubble finally popped when the recession in the United States began to effect the international economy in the late months of last year. As demand fell rapidly to less than half of the highest price during the summer.

Obama's Address To Congress last night held high hopes for the nation's economy. Obama explained how his stimulus plans regarding real estate, unemployment and the overall economic well-being of the country will build a foundation for nation's, and eventually the world's, economic prosperity.

Rather than investing in specific companies, more investors are beginning to sink funds into oil, gold, silver & other precious metals.

Whether these types of investments are more stable than the stocks can be debated but one thing is for certain: in a bear market such as this, it never hurts to expand your options.
