Global Economy Has Issues!

As I mentioned recently, we've developed our own macro scoring system for the Eurozone and 19 additional countries (soon to be 22).

Where available, we're capturing and scoring the trends in areas such as:

Retail Sales
Consumer Confidence
Unemployment Rate
Manufacturing PMI
Services PMI
Industrial Production
CPI
GDP
Central Bank Policy Rate

The good news for you client subscribers is that we're accounting for these issues in our core allocation/strategy going forward.
