In advance,
Stock Traders Daily pinpointed the 2007 peak in
the Market and detailed the duration of the
current Economic Downturn in a report titled:
'Top
of the Market to You!'
Evidence of a
domestic and growing global recession could not be more
obvious. The store closings and job cuts announced
by Starbucks (SBUX) on Tuesday were a major blow to
consumer psyche.
'If Starbucks can't
weather the storm, how can I?' This is the voice
of many consumers and frequent patrons of Starbuck's
retail outlets.
This news is likely to draw down consumer confidence
levels even more.
However, this is just
the beginning, according to our longer term report.
Our longer term analysis and the report mentioned above
is based on a proprietary in depth longer term study
called 'The Investment Rate.' The IR is the most
accurate Leading Longer Term Stock Market and Economic
Indicator Ever Developed. It tells us exactly how
long the current economic weakness will last.
The
Duration of the current Economic Downturn - Identified
Not only does the IR
measure the future health of the economy, but it also
accurately predicts longer term Market cycles in
advance. The Investment Rate is a leading
indicator of the performance of DIA, SPY, and QQQQ as a
result.
Typically sold to
institutional clients through Reuters Research, the IR
is available to retail subscribers too. Review the
IR now, and walk away with a more concrete understanding
of the current weakness and an embedded priority going
forward; that priority is Wealth Preservation.
Only after you take
steps to protect your wealth will you be comfortable
with other more proactive trading strategies.
