Review the Economic Analysis   (Show detailed report)   1. Importance Very important   The US economy is very important when considering your investment decisions, because it drives the world's economy. It is the consumer spending of people in the US that drives economic growth. 2. Wisdom Important   It is wise to consider the health of the US economy when considering your investments. If consumer spending is increasing, the US economy will likely do well. If consumer spending is descreasing, the US economy will find it difficult to do well. 3. Knowledge Important   If the US economy is growing more than 1.5% a year, that is a very good signal and a great opportunity to own stocks. If the US economy is growing between 0.5% and 1.5% a year, it is more prudent to hold more cash or bonds. If the US economy is growing less than 0.5% or is shrinking (negative growth), it is more prudent to have the majority of your holdings in cash or bonds. 4. Current Assessment Fair   The current assessment of the US economy is good. There is moderate growth of 0.925% from last year. Inflation has been low, and unemployment is moderate. Interest rates are moderate. 5.
