Last week I wrote about five things to fear in the stock market, going from the price of gold and what it portends to federal government programs and their consequences. This week, let's look at reasons to be positive about the stock market and what they might signal for 2010.

Employment is getting a little bit better. Nothing to get excited about yet, but still, the worst of unemployment seems to be in the past. Each month for the last six,, there have been fewer layoffs. The latest employment report showed that the service sector added 56,000 jobs while manufacturing was still losing them, though by a much smaller amount than in previous months.

Looks like GM is starting to try its hand at correcting its ship, which has lost its course in every possible way recently. General Motor's CEO, Rick Wagoner, confirmed that GM is indeed bringing back the Chevy Camaro, a muscle car that defined a generation along with the Ford Mustang, which has never missed a beat and has been a great seller for Ford.

In a quote that personifies just how GM is being perceived these days, Wagoner said this: "As evidence that we're not completely brain-dead, GM will build the Chevy Camaro". That's good to know, Rick. I, for one, thought GM was brain-dead myself. Actually, just suffering from "how do we get out of this mess" syndrome. Our friends at Autoblog were on tap and in person for the annual Management Briefing Seminars this week that take place in the auto industry, where this Camaro news was reported on Thursday.

With Chevy having a long-lasting relationship with a good portion of the American public, will the resurrected Camaro help GM out of its funk? Well, if it was coming out today, perhaps, but in 2009? That's a lifetime away, and the fervor will have died down (for many) at that time. Gasoline prices will probably be $3.50 a gallon by then, so be sure to race to your Chevy dealer for that V8 when it comes!

Jokes aside, GM needs a few hits with consumers to get its game back (if that is possible), and this is a great step in that direction.
