Editorial ReviewsFrom the Inside FlapYou don't need to manage millions or billions of dollars to use economic indicators to plan an investment strategy and build your portfolio. Furthermore, you don't need a degree in economics or mathematics to interpret this information. Today, you can get much of the same information that Wall Street professionals use in their analyses from various online or print sources as well as numerous business programs.
Nobody understands this better than author Richard Yamarone, a Bloomberg Senior Economist with over twenty-five years of experience working on Wall Street. And now, in the Third Editionof The Trader's Guide to Key Economic Indicators, he shares his extensive insights on this topic with you.
Filled with new examples and commentary on the recent financial crisis, this reliable guide focuses on a dozen essential economic indicators—and several others from the fixed income and commodity markets—that are among the most important of any analyst's or economist's tools. Each chapter corresponds to an indicator, beginning with the most comprehensive—GDP and indices of leading, lagging, and coincident indicators—and continuing with those tied to particular aspects or segments of the overall economy, such as consumer prices, manufacturing, housing, and retail sales.
To help you gain a firm understanding of the indicators addressed, every chapter follows the same basic setup: an introduction sketching out the major attributes of the indicator and its effect on the markets; a discussion of its origins and development; a description of how the relevant data are obtained, analyzed, and presented; and an explanation of how to incorporate these data into your investment endeavors. The last section of every chapter also contains at least one "Trick from the Trenches" that will allow you to develop a clearer picture of business activity.
Engaging and informative, the Third Edition of The Trader's Guide to Key Economic Indicators will help you gain a practical command of economic indicators and their meaning for investment. Written for both professional and individual investors, it will put you in a better position to form your own opinions about the possible direction of the economy and markets as well as how to make the most informed investment decisions based on those opinions.
From the Back CoverPraise for The Trader's Guide to Key Economic Indicators, Third Edition
"Rich's Trader's Guide identifies the essential economic indicators needed to completely understand the economy's underlying fundamentals. This book bridges the gap between what is taught in college texts and read in the business press. Rich has one of the smartest economic minds and is genuinely one of the nicest guys in the world. Really. He told me to write that."
—Arthur B. Laffer, former advisor to President Reagan and coauthor of Return to Prosperity: How America Can Regain Its Economic Superpower Status
"Rich Yamarone is a walking human database of trading data. He looks at everything but, more importantly, he knows what is important and what isn't. And he looks in places most economists never think about. The Trader's Guide to Key Economic Indicators is a resource you want to read again and again and then keep near your desk to refer to. It's that good!"
—John Mauldin, President, Millenium Wave Securities
"Thinking before speaking is always good advice. For traders, understanding economic indicators before executing the trade is essential, and Richard's work sets understanding in its primary place. Richard covers many varied indicators and reflects upon their quirks as well as their signals for traders. This is a must-read for intelligent traders."
—John E. Silvia, Chief Economist, Wells Fargo
"Markets respond instantaneously to economic news. Making quick decisions requires a solid understanding of the past performance of, and the methodologies used to produce, economic indicator statistics. Yamarone's latest gets 'into the weeds' and provides the understanding needed to properly interpret the implications for financial markets of changes in economic indicators. An easy and profitable read."
—William Dunkelberg, Chief Economist, National Federation of Independent Business; Economic Strategist, Boenning & Scattergood
