The Secrets of Economic Indicators

Hidden Clues to Future Economic Trends and Investment Opportunities

The title and presentation seems to promise much. One look at it will give you the impression that this is a title that provides a deeper level of analysis towards economic indicators that we read so much in today’s headlines.

Unfortunately the book serves to be nothing more than just a brochure of the various formal economic indicators and industry standards. Each indicator is introduced by just several lines of its origins and what it tracks. This includes the GDP, unemployment rates, manufacturing output figures and such.

Though whimsical details are given on how the particular indicator could be useful to equities, currencies and bonds, this will amount to nothing more than just half a page at the very most. It will be difficult to imagine how miniscule information such as these would serve to tell you “hidden clues to future economic trends”.

Would be useful for the beginner but holds nothing new for the seasoned investor.
