    This was released today.
    May consumer credit up $11.3B vs. last month, consensus $8.0B. I think this is rather significant.

    The problem is that you only analyze one data point.

    You have to analyze thousands of historical data points.
    Then you will not be surprised.

    You might be the only trader in the world reading those reports.

    You have lots of things to learn.


    Do remember Professional traders and Professional Writers don't mix.

    Anyway,
    have fun reading those reports.

    I always pay attention to reports because it can help paint a picture for investing opposed to trading.

    Good point.

    The report is meant for the investor, not the trader.
