      A Leading Indicator Of  The Causal Factors of Economic  Behaviorial Trends

PreCast Signals Fulfill Two Long Sought Business Planning Needs

#1 Economic sentiment designed for the information age provides earlier indicators of shifts in economic sentiment.

#2 More accurate measures of  sentiment with extraordinary correlations to future consumer spending, retail sales and other key metrics..

In the fall of 2008 retail sales fell off a cliff. PreCasts Signals track the causal factors that produce changes in consumer economic behavior, and identified the changing composition of economic attitudes up to 12 months before the inevitable and dramatic shift in economic behavior actually began.

Economic Sentiment is the Dominant Indicator of Our Volatile Information Age

The Most Sensitive And Timely Measure Of Economic Sentiment

• Public information is simultaneous a reflection and a catalyst of attitudes and behavior. To more fully capture, consolidate and identify the trajectory of the 24/7 information influences in our environment ,TrendPointers has created a methodology that collaborates with forecasts, by providing PreCasts of the emerging information and public dialogue that over time influences and shapes economic behavior.

• Countless efforts have brought traditional forecasting methods to their limits. Forecasting from today into the unknown future relies on history and momentum, but clearly is not a crystal ball about future events.
• PreCasts look forward by taking a step backward. Whatever metrics you use for forecasting, they all began at some prior time and emerged and gained visibility . Traditional sentiment measures are lagging indicators that have been too far removed from the sources; TrendPointers captures this process in near real-time to more fully anticipate what other measures report only after they reach the critical mass of impact and visibility.
