This book is an easy read and it is a great introduction to economic indicators. Unfortunately, it is out of date. It gives a description of what each indicator actually measures, who produces the indicator, and why it is important to the stock, bond, and currency markets.

It is a very quick read (less than a day) and can be used to refresh one's memory on the basic econ indicators.

It also includes an in-depth discussion of how the Fed actually regulates the money supply. This is one of the better introductions to the Fed's operations that I have read.

I recommend quickly reading this book whenever you need a refresher course on the very basics of what to look for in economic indicators, especially with respect to how they affect the markets.

I first purchased this book about 10 years ago and have done so about once a year since then. It is of great help for those just fresh from the university and to the seasoned financial guru. When data has been made public from the FED, this book helps one to diagnose and better comprehend those economic figures.

This book turned the light bulb on for me. Definately worth the price and one I will keep and recommend to others.

Very usefull, specially for begginers that want to understand the data releases that are market-movers.

I never received the item. I emailed three weeks after the purchase, and was notified by computer generated reply that the item may take a little longer. Still no shipment....

Do not use this vendor.
