This book is another book that promises market-beating returns. This sort of promise is often dubious. I also don’t believe that EVERYONE rates this at FIVE STARS and that almost EVERY REVIEW was FOUND HELPFUL. Shame on publishers who pimp their own books on here!

This book offers nothing that can’t easily be obtained by a simple internet search. The book reads like a manual with no soul whatsoever. I could have written the same book with mere copy and paste technique. The high reviews given to this book were given by 10 year olds. Don’t waste your time and definitely your money!
I wish I could give a 1/2 star on this!!

Well, Bernard Baumohl has done us all a great service by organizing the blizzard of economic reports that government and other organizations crank out every week. At the beginning of each indicator, he posts the market sensitivity and the time, frequency, and source of each report. It also gives us some insight into the methodology of the reports, such as stating that the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey involves only 500 respondents.
There is certainly an overload of information, but this handy reference book allows you to be an informed consumer.
Dry, but well laid out, so you can read it in small pieces. Get it if you’re a serious investor.

Easy to read, nicely organized information. A lot better then “The trader’s Guide To Key Economic Indicators”.
Recommend getting this book if somebody wants to know more about this subject even if they are novice.

This is a fantastic book for those that want to better understand the monthly numbers that come out, how important they are, and how to interpret them. Very well laid out book for people who want a quick reference. I found it to be one of the most helpful books that always stays on my desk as the new economic numbers come out.
The organization of each of the major numbers that comes out is well laid out with further descriptions of where the website for the data is, what it means, and the level of importance. This is one to buy, because you will absolutely use it if you are in finance, business, or any field where you have to keep up with these types of indicators.
