Ken Goldstein Signal Quotations

The strong signal from the indicators means that the recession could be over soon. Three successive monthly increases, each larger than the one before, bring the level of the leading series above the pre-recession peak.

This could be a signal that the economy will continue to expand this spring before slowing later in the year.

The Leading Economic Index, however, rose sharply in three of the last four months. That could be a signal of a faster pace this spring.
