Pay attention to how much money the Feds and Treasury pump into the market to create artificial liquidity. Same with the international markets. As those numbers go up it will be time to be wise stewards at home.
Also, watch the value of the U.S. dollar against Gold and Silver. If the precious metals commodities spike then be careful. It could mean that investors are "running" to safety.
There are a lot of other things that concern the derivatives market directly but are pretty complex to explain unless you have a very serious economic background. The two that I mentioned are easy to follow and should help you.
“There are a lot of other things that concern the derivatives market directly but are pretty complex to explain unless you have a very serious economic background.”
Not sure how serious my background is.
A B.S. in finance - with the required economics courses that went along with that.
But things have changed alot since then.
I know enough to know there is much I do not know (make sense?)
But as I have not worked in the world of finance over the years - have not kept up with much of the lingo I see being bandied about.
So...basic understanding of basic principles here - I know at some point there will be a “panic” button, I’m just not sure I know enough to understand it when it happens (hopefully in time to something useful about it)
