End of Non-Recession Powers Alternative Energy Stocks and the Dow Again

August 29th, 2008 · No Comments

The mysterious recession being searched for by Democrats everywhere once again eluded capture as the Commerce Department released a report saying that the US gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a 3.3 percent annual rate, well beyond economist’s expectations. In response the Dow continued its upward movement adding 1.85% to end the day at 11,715.18. Oil continued to remain volatile with uneasiness as Tropical Storm Gustav becomes more ominous by the day and threatens to grow into a major hurricane as it works its way through the Gulf oil fields.  Oil closed the day at $115.55.  Still, with the Labor Day weekend approaching, stocks lacked the movement we normally see.
