According to CNBC's veteran market watcher, Ron Insana, they can and they do.
Every day the world's markets are speaking--shouting, really--boldly predicting the future. In fact, they are reflecting information not yet revealed to the general public: events as dramatic as the outcome of a war, as tragic as a nuclear accident in some distant part of the globe, or as mundane yet vitally important as the future and still secret decisions of the Federal Reserve.
In order to understand what the markets are saying, you have to know how to listen to and interpret the messages they are sending. This is the first book to show readers how to understand the signals put out by the markets, and how to use that information to advantage in their lives.
Since ancient times, writes Insana, investors and merchants have met to buy and sell goods--and to exchange information and gossip. This information is reflected in the prices charged for those goods, whether it is news of war in a farflung region that will cut off the world's gold supply or a crop failure that will make wheat scarce.
Now skip to the present day, where the proxies for goods and services--tradable securities--act in exactly the same fashion. From the price of oil to foreign-currency fluctuations, from the price of a stock to the interest rate offered on a bond, the financial markets provide clues to events great and small. For example, Insana documents how
- the stock market sent a shudder down Wall Street several moments before President John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas
- the crude oil market tipped off the world that a war was imminent between Iraq, Kuwait, and the United States--and then predicted a quick victory
- the wheat market told the West about the seriousness of the Chernobyl nuclear accident days before official word of the meltdown
- a tiny currency known as the Thai baht warned the global markets that the Asian economic crisis was imminent and potentially devastating.
In the world of finance, Insana reveals how
- the yield curve gives a one-year advance warning of an impending recession
- a little-known futures contract is capable of predicting with great precision what the Federal Reserve will do to interest rates weeks before the Fed makes its decision
At a more personal level, Insana shows how individuals who heed the warnings of the markets will make better personal decisions regarding
- investments
- mortgages and loans
- real estate purchases
- career choices
- and much more
Whether you are an investor, a market buff, or are simply interested in making better financial decisions, the markets are speaking to you in a very relevant and personal way. Let Ron Insana be your guide and interpreter to understanding the message of the markets.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to BooksRun, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
