1338: Leading v Lagging Indicators, Housing Starts, Business Migration

Jason Hartman begins today's show with a little good news and a little bad news. Along with that Jason explores the idea of seeing the world in black and white and how getting older helps with that.

Then Jason finishes his interview with Ali Wolf, Director of Economic Research at Meyers Research, LLC., regarding what indicators you can expect to be leading and which are likely to be lagging.
