Stroke on Line

[ab07]

Hello, sorry if this question has been asked before. Sort of new to illustrator, and have a question as to why the stroke of my line isn't a point at the end. It only goes so far past the end of the origional line, and cuts off. I have taken a screen of what I mean:

Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

...check your cap options in the stroke palette there are three styles to choose from, they are next to the stroke weight input field...

...also check the miter join options, in the stroke window, below the cap options...

Thanks very much! It worked. The Milter Limit was set to 4, so I set it to 50 and it works great now. Thanks again!

...to add...

...the miter limit controls when the program switches from a mitered (pointed) join to a beveled (squared-off) join. The default miter limit is 4, which means that when the length of the point reaches four times the stroke weight, the program switches from a miter join to a bevel join. A miter limit of 1 results in a bevel join.
