Hello RTers...

Name: Economic Indicators - How America Reads Its Financial Health
Author: Joseph E. Plocek
ISBN: 0-13-626896-X
Publisher: New York Institute of Finance

This book is GOOD. A concise, simple, no babble stuff about economic indicators. It
cover all important indicators like money supply, employment reports, personal income,
consumer spending, industrial sector, construction sector, Government sector, price

easy to get your feet wet in the world of fundamentals.

A good account on options. Starting from very basics, it discusses option trading
