3 types of economic indicator
- Lagging	Past	(lag 3-6 months)
- Coincident	Present
- Leading	Future  (lag 6-12 months

One amateur mistake is to use Coincident indicators to initiate postions

Confirmation Indicators: Coincident & Lagging indicators
They either confirm or deny our views on the prospects of US GDP Growth, that we have already obtained from Leading Indicators, 6-12 month earlier.

Supercore (that’s core services ex housing) is what the FED like to watch (CPI)
Services inflation is the one bit most correlated to wages and unemployment.


OECD leading index too volatile to be usefull
Architecture Billings index...


Earnings are a conincident indicator, foward looking statement are much more important


QRA : issue bill its stimulant
      issue bonds its removing liquidity from market

Need to take notice of when number of 401K millionaires peak
