AutoZone and ADP, Non-traditional Indicators
During most recessions, the auto sector has traditionally taken it on the chin. This week, we found out some interesting news that gives us some new insight into the changing buying habits of American consumers, and perhaps, new insight on investing.
AutoZone (NYSE: AZO) reported increased sales and profits as customers lined up to fix old vehicles instead of purchasing new ones. It’s a logical and expected result of consumers saving more and splurging less.
Another lesser-known indicator, this time on jobs and joblessness, are the numbers coming from payroll heavy Automatic Data Processing (Nasdaq: ADP). From the ADP Employer Service gauge we know that 697,000 jobs were cut from payrolls in February.
What these data streams tell us is that we can find investment information outside sources like the U.S. Labor Department and industry sales figures. And for astute investors, these “canaries” can give us fair warning before the official data is released.
For example, if we find out how severely some of the biggest online advertisers are cutting back, wouldn’t that information be important to know before online advertising juggernaut Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) reported it’s numbers? I would think so.
So keep your eyes and ears peeled and maybe you’ll stumble across the Holy Grail for today’s market… The sign we’ve hit bottom.
Companies mentioned in this article: AZO, ADP and GOOG.
- Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) – Shoppers “Didn’t Have the Time.”
- Yahoo! Lets Go, Google Takes Over
- Best Invention of 2008: Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) App Store

The Company Set to Dominate a $60 Billion-a-Year Market
$60 billion is spent on cancer treatment in the U.S. - each year. And one company is poised to receive the lion's share of it.
The medical director at the Alta Bates Comprehensive Cancer Center says, "...possibly a third of our cancer patient population will soon be undergoing this [company's] treatment."
Another doctor at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center says he intends to treat over 1,000 patients a year with this technology.
Here's how you can claim your stake in the company before this cash infusion sends shares soaring.
