The Message of the Markets: How Financial Markets Foretell the Future—and How You Can Profit from Their Guidance
The Message of the Markets is the first book to show readers how to understand the signals put out by the markets, and how to use that information to advantage in their lives. From the price of oil to foreign-currency fluctuations, from the price of a stock to the interest rate offered on a bond, the financial markets provide clues to events great and small. Whether you are an investor, a market buff, or are simply interested in making better financial decisions, the markets are speaking to you in a very relevant and personal way. Let The Message of the Markets be your guide and interpreter to understanding the message of the markets.
The Message of the Markets documents how:
- the stock market sent a shudder down Wall Street several moments before President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas
- the crude oil market warned the world that a war was coming between Iraq, Kuwait, and the United States and then predicted a quick victory
- the wheat market told the West about the seriousness of the Chernobyl nuclear accident days before official word of the meltdown
- a tiny currency known as the Thai baht warned the global markets that the Asian economic crisis was imminent and potentially devastating
