5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent for unprofessionals and Professionals alike
By Bookman on November 1, 2009
Format: Paperback
Rogers has written a much needed, up-to-date explanation of economic indicators. He covers the standard economic indicators that you find in other books--everything from the employment situation report, to GDP, to retail sales, to consumer prices, to international trade, and more. But he has included the indicators that now get heightened attention since the financial crisis and the recession. You will find incredible coverage of all the important leading indicators for housing plus indicators for house price indexes and more. You'll learn where commodities such as oil and gold fit in. As good as his explanations of traditional and newly important indicators, his book may be best for explaining how to track the Fed and monetary policy. He gives you a lot of information that few other than a former Fed economist would know to point out. Not only do you learn about Fed votes on the fed funds rate but also how the discount rate is set and where the Fed District Bank presidents fit in. And "quantitative easing" is explained--you won't find that in older books. Also, what you won't find in similar books is his section on how financial markets view Fed policy. Who would have thought that tracking fed funds futures would actually be easy? Finally, this book is "must" for both experienced economy watchers and newbies. For those wanting to "get in the game"--according to Rogers--he gives easy to understand and detailed information on how to find all the key web sites and how to track the before and after of releases of economic indicators as professionals do.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book!
By Ryan Mccullough on June 11, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've ventured into the stock/FOREX market lately, bought quite a few books and by far, ths book is the most amazing. Technical and fudamental analysis are a must for any investor and this book thoroughly covers the fundamental angle more than any other publication. The other really good fundamental book I have is Econmoic Indicators by Baumohl, which is a great book too which I recommend, but I like how Mark Rogers book was more thorough. Every key fundamental indicator is included, explained in an easy-read format by outlining the importance and the effect. I've literally got my calendar out and marked the dates of when the indicators will be announced because anyone who trades FOREX, knows fundamental announcements will drastically effect the direction in the FOREX market. Also, I loved the thorough explanation they gave on the Federal Reserve and on weekly reports the Fed publishes which are the closest to reflect the Fed Reserve Balances. If you are an investor, I would say this book is a must have. Highly recommend.

By Edmond L. Suek on February 15, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I sincerely recommend this book for the novis, intermediate or any individual already quite familiar with Economic Indicators. The book prioritizes, discusses and outlines sources for the data utilized in important, domestic economic indicators. Very current and great, desktop reference-book.

5.0 out of 5 starsA powerful tool for truly understanding today's economic indicators
By Mark Sarro on November 1, 2009
Format: Kindle Edition
Rogers' book accomplishes what few such books do: it makes learning about economic indicators easy to understand, yet it covers all of the key details. For beginners, he does an outstanding job explaining how professional traders think about economic indicators and their impact on financial markets. He teaches you about the importance of the market consensus and how to track not just the indicators but how professional traders view the numbers before the release and where to find those web sites. The depth and coverage of Rogers' book is refreshing but not surprising--he was a Fed economist and forecaster for almost 20 years and currently tracks the U.S. economy with his weekly commentary and analysis for Econoday. While this book's understandability and depth are important, it also stands out because it is thoroughly current, having been written after the latest financial crisis and recession were well under way. Rogers includes all of the traditional indicators such as GDP, employment, retail sales, consumer prices, and more. But he adds the "newly discovered" second tier indicators that are now getting so much attention in the markets and in the media. These include housing indicators such as pending home sales, the NAHB Housing Market Index, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, and the FHFA house price index, among others. Also included in the second tier indicators with heightened attention are consumer confidence, consumer sentiment, Treasury International Capital, Monster Employment Index, and more. Rogers' section on the Fed is outstanding. He covers the traditional Fed policy tools such as the fed funds rate and the discount rate. But also adds what you will not find elsewhere--the Fed's balance sheet and interest paid on reserves.Read more ›
