How are you tracking your market inventory levels?
I've been investing for a long time and since 2001 I have been tracking market inventory levels to know what, when and why I should buy or sell. A lot of this stems from my background as a real estate appraiser and my love of numbers. Why is this important? The numbers are why I stopped buying in 2005 and started selling in 2006. The numbers are why I started buying again in 2010. The numbers are why I stopped buying again at the beginning of March 2020. Attached is a screenshot of the numbers I track. What numbers are you tracking?
