管窺股勢

美股在以往12月總是期盼耶誕老公公的大禮（漲），然今年還沒盼到。而且標準普爾500指數(S&P 500統計美國上市500個大型股) 本月已跌3.5%。

在CNNMoney的當日個股觀測首位
贏家：石油和天然氣生產商Denbury Resources Inc丹博里資源公司（但今年至今已跌58.61%）
輸家：Harley-Davidson USA哈雷重機（今年至今僅跌9.45%）  

 

CNN的觀點先提到，在全球經濟不振的這年5來，油價跌到驚人的55美元。儘管低油價如同減稅、有刺激經濟之效，但低過頭，弊會反過來吃掉利。
Oil's slide has been relentless, having tanked another 3% Tuesday to below $55, a level not seen in five years when the economy was in dire straits.
True, slumping oil means a break at the pump, which most economists say is equivalent to a mega tax cut or stimulus program. But there is a tipping point when oil gets too low. Eventually, the benefits start to get outweighed by the costs.
結語則是引用富國銀行集團投顧公司專家言，「低油價，短空長多」。
Ultimately, Christopher thinks low oil will be a good thing for the economy.
"Those are more present for us as worries, but they aren't going to replace the longer-term benefit," he said.
