I think the 2008 stock market has a bright future. If you’re not invested right now, this would be a good year to start. There’s a few concerns like housing, droughts, global warming, water shortages and high prices at the gas pumps, but if you can over look those things, you should be fine! Historically the markets always do well in the year of a new president being elected. So since 2008 is a presidential election and the Republicans try to hold on to the top spot, we should see a strong economy this year.

I would pay attention to Apple (AAPL), Research In Motion (RIMM), Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG), Citigroup (C), and Southern Copper Corporation (PCU).  These are 6 strong stocks for 2008. Searching for ETF’s or Mutual Funds that have these companies in their top 10 holdings is another good way to invest in these stocks and the stock market. If we can just find a way to keep the water running in the Southeast and Southwest parts of the U.S., things sure do look bright for 2008!
