This isnt really an investment related thread, but it is an economic q so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Long story short, I've got a seminar presentation (not in economics) and I'd like to use the answers to these questions in my discussion:
What are the signs (advanced or commonsense) that would indicate signs of economic distress or recovery?
Any other related signs that would be indicative of a major economic event?
General signs investors look for before buying or selling?
For example: I've heard that housing prices (+ or - changes) in the most wealthy parts of America (eg Beverly Hills) often serve as reliable indications of what housing prices will look like in other areas, years later.
To remove first post, remove entire topic.
Heya,

As for buying and selling, I personally look at volume------big money players (who have inside info) move big amounts of shares, so when volume is overly huge, someone big time knows something-------not wise to get in the way of big, inside money------you can and WILL get demolished again and again and again.
No clear cut answer to any of these.

thanks for the reply, I should have been more specific
I Obama said we're seeing signs that the economy is getting ready to rebound. But he didnt expound upon those signs. Universal, empirically verifiable signs.
I dont think I can use your example because its not an empirically verifiable sign. Presumably, some doofus could invest shitpiles on a poor stock. I know this isnt what you are looking for but I need a more concrete connection between the sign the investor/analyst sees and the inference they will make. Large movements of $ can be indicative of a good investment but in some cases they are not. Large cash flows dont logically necessitate a good investment.

Universal, empirically verifiable signs. ---------- because there are none and dont listen to obama...he doesnt have a clue how the market or any market works
best indicator is to check public sentiment....about a month ago everyone thought the world was going to end. happened to be a good time to buy
if you ask around now, the little guy is thinking about getting back in the market. he will get his face ripped off over the next few weeks

Yep, the big money players are duping the little guy right now-----going to let him in, take him a tad higher, make him feel good about himself, and then....................
RIP HIS F------ING FACE OFF
Be damn carefeul, man, and Koaj is right as usual------there is no fool-proof litmus test in any of this. You win, you lose, you worry, you feel greedy, you feel sheer terror, you revel in wins, you feel horrific in losses, and at the end of the day-----you just better farking hope you finished up.
This is a brutal game, and EVERY SINGLE PLAYER is out to take your farking money and kick you while you're falling.
