Testimonial
Your work stands alone in the industry. I wholeheartedly value and endorse your service!
No one speaks with more authority about the economy's turning points.
As an investment strategist, I need to navigate the many twists and turns in the emerging economic landscape with as much foresight as possible to know when to take or avoid risk. In this quest, ECRI's array of leading indices, specifically designed to predict and navigate economic turning points, have been an indispensible tool.
ECRI can justify a certain smugness now that business cycles are back in fashion. The institute called the last two recessions and the current recovery months ahead of the pack.
[T]he Economic Cycle Research Institute [is] a private forecasting group with an excellent track record.
