Price action in Enron was more than enough to tell one where Enron 
was going or at least that one didn't wnat to be long in it way 
before in serious price trouble.  The fundamentals lagged in that 
case simply because they weren't being accurately reported but in any 
case fundamentals lag.  One can certainly use general market prices 
as an indicator of where the economy is going but it doesn't work the 
other way around.
