When I look at the myriad of market and economic variables to assess the investment markets, there are always items that lean one way while others lean the other way. That’s why it’s easy to support either a bullish or bearish view of the market.
Market assessments are not purely scientific and never will be. There is an art and a science to those assessments.
Constant reading and educating yourself about business and economic information enables improved assessment, but perfection can never be obtained.
Like any craft, the craftsman never reaches perfection, but the consummate craftsman strives to obtain continuous, incremental improvement.
Be smart, be well-read, be aware and be successful!
