What a terrific resource! Most of us read news stories or hear them on TV and radio that refer to this or that economic indicator. The reporter says a few words about what that indicator behaving that way means, but we have no personal knowledge of what those measure mean, what was measured, or how professional investors actually use a given indicator (if at all).
Bernard Baumohl has done every investor or interested generalist who cares to do serious homework on the economy a solid tutorial on what economic indicators are, a primer on the lingo, a huge chapter on the dozens of measures for the U.S. economy, a smaller chapter on the foreign economy, and a list of web resources you can use to look at the data for each of them.
In chapter three each of the indicators is given its own profile. The author provides a quick snapshot of how strongly the market responds to the indicator, what it is, where to find it on the internet (and whether it is free or for pay), release time, frequency, source of the indicator, and how often or how likely it is to be revised. Then there is a brief essay on why the indicator is important and often shows and explains the data in the report.
Not only is the information in this book valuable, it provides you with resources for as much research and work as you want to do in getting a handle on the economy so you can better understand its impact on your investments and economic future.

Moving from academia to the real world is made much smoother with this great text by Dr. Bernard Baumohl. His choice of topics, organization and writing are superb. Anyone interested in gaining a strong economic background with a quantitative degree like myself will find this book extremely useful. |

Have never seen a book on financial/economic indicators that's so comprehensive and easy to read. Great graphics. Really well-written. Baumohl has a gift for taking a complicated economics and finance ideas and bringing it in the easy to read form. |

Finally, a book that makes sense. I had bought books on the economy and about Wall Street before but they were either poorly written or too theoretical. Many turned out to be a waste of time to read. This book however, is far superior and highly readable. I'm half way through it and have already learned more than all the previous books I read combined. This one is a keeper. |

Any trader or investor - indeed anyone with an interest in how our economy works - would certainly profit from owning and using this book. Baumohl takes what is normally considered to be a rather dry subject - economics - and succeeds in making it both interesting and highly informative reading. A must-have reference for anyone & everyone who has more than a smattering of a reason to pay attention to the ups & downs of this fascinating subject... Highly recommended |

Everyone seems to know the importance of economic indicators and that when each one is released it may affect interest rates, inflation, stock prices, home prices, or a myriad of other items that directly affect our national and personal economy. In this book the author provides an excellent education on the various indicators including how they are determined, what they mean, why they have the effect they do when issued, and how to interpret them. I really enjoyed that the author makes this somewhat complex subject approachable to the average person. Mr. Baumohl actually makes economics interesting and easy to understand. Businessmen, investors, and anyone else who needs to understand economic indicators and what they mean would be well served by picking up a copy of The Secrets of Economic Indicators. |
