Every day, stocks, bonds, and currencies bounce wildly in
response to new economic indicators. Money managers obsess over
those statistics, because they provide crucial clues about the
future of the economy and the financial markets.
Now you can use these indicators to make smarter investment
decisions, just like the professionals do. You don't need an
economics degree, or a CPA... just this easy-to-use book.
Former TIME Magazine senior economics reporter Bernard Baumohl
has done the impossible: he's made economic indicators
fascinating. Using real-world examples and stories, Baumohl
illuminates every U.S. and foreign indicator that matters. Where
to find them. What they look like. What the insiders know about
their track records. And exactly how to interpret them.
Whether you're an investor, broker, portfolio manager,
researcher, journalist, or student, you'll find this book
indispensable. Nobody can predict the future with certainty. But
The Secrets of Economic Indicators will get you as close as
