Economic leading indicators

[dakr]

Looking for suggestions for some leading economic indicators please; both in general and more industry specific ones...

I'm just interested to look at trends on the the real economy amidst the sensationalism in the news. Not interested in stuff that get affected by trading speculation like futures prices.

Looked at transport statistics but they are lagging indicators. Is there something like order numbers for various goods and services?

Thanks.

If you are interested in information on a company then you might want to look at its 10 - K report at the SEC.

The best leading economic indicators for me are the stock markets themselves. They generally lead the economy by a few months. The real question is which one should we watch first.
