Everything you need to easily get a handle on economic indicators
In today's volatile, often troubling economic landscape, there are
myriad statistics and reports that paint an economic picture that can
sometimes resemble a work by Jackson Pollock. These complex and
often-conflicting reports could vex even the savviest investor.
Economic Indicators For Dummies explains how to interpret and
use key global economic indicators to make solid investments, aid in
business planning, and help develop informed decisions. In plain
English, it breaks down the complex language and statistics to help
you make sense of this critical information.
You'll discover how to interpret economic data within the context of
other sometimes-conflicting reports and statistics, and use the
information to make profitable decisions. You'll understand the
meaning of such data as employment indices and housing and
construction stats and how they affect stocks, bonds, commodities and
international markets . . . and how you can use these statistics to
make investment decisions as well as plan strategic goals for business
growth. Economic Indicators For Dummies breaks down dozens of
statistics and patterns to give you a better understanding of how
various sources of data and information can be used.
