  • Why the ECRI Is a Good Economic Indicator [View article]
    "I have no doubt that WLI is showing historic growth. But it is coming from very low levels."

    WLI growth rate was more than telling. One of my older charts is here

    forbestadvice.com/Mone...

    I'll try and update that with a more current chart later today, maybe with the market price on the chart. Key point is the WLI growth has SURGED way, way above the old highs.

    You can see it had already fallen off a cliff by Jan 2008. I used its decline to lower my allocation to equities several months earlier AND I used its bottoming in Dec 08 and higher low in March 09 to increase allocation to equities.

    NO INDICATOR is perfect, but WLI growth seems to provide useful clues.
