Financial Options

The Financial Roadmap series features the upcoming key economic and financial indicators for each week. I specifically search several sources to find all the major US and international economic indicators and then present a list in calendar format as well as a narrative of the main economic indicators in the week ahead. The post also features US Treasury securities announcements and auctions. Finally, it includes some select earning report schedules.

As the week proceeds, the results for each of the economic indicators with the exception of Treasury auctions and announcements is added to the post as it becomes available. The base numbers are added to the post, along with a link to more complete information. Housing market indicators are featured on RealNews under the Housing Market category. Job market indicators are featured at Jobs Calling under the Job Market category. International indicators are featured at Growing Global under the Economic Indicators category. General US economic indicators are featured on this site, Financial Options, under Economic Indicators category.

The earnings releases listed are companies I've chosen because of their industries, because of market capitalization (the size of the company), because they have local plants in my area or for various other reasons of general interest. Please do not take these as a “recommendation” of any sort. That I list them here simply means that I think the results may be interesting for any number of reason - I may occasionally even choose companies where I expect negative results.
