Things to Try: What You Can Do With EconomicInvestor

From individual investors to business students to professional financial advisors, EconomicInvestor offers patented tools and unique applications just for you. No matter who you are, the three main questions that EconomicInvestor addresses are timely and relevant:

How much risk does a stock face from the economy, or from parts of the economy?

EconomicInvestor's patented MacroRisk Profile shows you how our 18 MacroRisk Factors, including the unemployment rate, the price of gold, and auto sales, can have a profound impact on your individual investments.

How can I take the economy into account when diversifying a portfolio?

With our unique tools, you can compare and contrast two investments' MacroRisk Profiles. This means that you can make sure your stocks are not only different on the surface, but that they will also respond differently to economic changes: EconomicInvestor can help you diversify more effectively than ever before.

Is the economy likely to help or hinder an investment's performance in the near future?

Our exclusive Climate Ratings give you a Better Window on the Future. With this tool, you can see which stocks and funds are facing a beneficial economy, and which may be being held back by current conditions.

EconomicInvestor offers its users many tools and benefits rarely (or never) found elsewhere.

Individual investors can compare and contrast their own stocks and investments in several areas. Similarly, researchers such as finance students and professors can access easy and quick analysis tools to obtain statistics and other data that are otherwise arduous to find or calculate.

CPAs, trust attorneys, and other professional advisors and planners might choose to additionally:

  • Use Eta Analysis to analyze their clients' investments for economic risk.
  • Portray economic risk information graphically for their clients' benefit.
  • Provide better documentation for the Prudent Investor Act requirements. 

Examples of What Our Tools Can Do:

Using our MacroRisk Profile and Current Economic Status page, you can:

  • See whether your stocks respond positively or negatively to changes in agricultural exports, the exchange rate of the Euro, and other important economic variables that you might not have thought would influence your investments.
  • Identify which of these economic variables (MacroRisk Factors) impact your stocks the most, and in which direction. Sometimes this is very different than you would expect - Chrysler, for example, is far more affected by Bond Yields than by Auto Sales.
    Check whether your stocks all respond differently to economic changes, or whether you need to diversify your investments.
  • Find out which MacroRisk Factors have changed recently, and in what direction; this information can help you decide which of your stocks to buy more of or sell.
  • Compare the economic risk of your stock or fund to the S&P 500 or another investment. This gives you a benchmark to see which of your investments are most and least impacted by the economy.

With our Climate Rating Report, you can:

  • See how the economy will tend to affect your investments in the next three to twelve months.
  • Compare and contrast potential investments to see which of them the economy is currently favoring more.
  • Get an overall picture of whether your stocks are likely to be helped or harmed by the current economy.

Check out the R2 (Economy's Influence) found on all our Eta Analysis Reports to:

  • Discover how much of your stock's price is determined by the economy.
  • See which of your investments are most impacted by economic changes.
  • Realize for yourself how good EconomicInvestor really is! While many investing models only explain up to 20% of a stock's changes in price, Eta Analysis generally explains over 80% of these price variations.
