I have been thinking about how personal life

can mirror other subject areas.

Do you think this is true?

Specifically I was thinking of economics, and how early

leadership by investors can lead the market.  Should

we be seeking out the important bellwethers?

This could be very useful for us.

For instance, a market bellwether can be a leader in any

given field.  It could be  interest rates or it could be

global equity markets.
I grew interested in this term.  The term comesfrom the

Middle English Bellwether - referring to placing a bell

around the neck of a ram -  in order that he might lead

its flock.

A bellwether in ones personal life would have to be very

sensitive or noticeable, or else we would not pay attention

to it.

I am going to start looking out for these in my own life, as

well as in other fields, and then perhaps I can apply

those lessons as well.
