I’d like to announce  a new project that I’ve been working on called HiddenLevers.

What happens to your portfolio if interest rates rise to 10%? What about if oil prices spike up to $150 per barrel? Do know what impact health care reform could have on your portfolio?

HiddenLevers.com will help you answer those questions and more, by making Scenario Analysis easy for investors. By connecting big-picture economic factors (levers) with stocks and industries, HiddenLevers helps investors to understand how different economic scenarios can impact their investments.

You can use HiddenLevers to:

• See how your investment portfolio performs under different scenarios like Crash of 2009, Oil Spike, Healthcare Reform Passes, and many more.
• Find industries and stocks that might perform well under certain scenarios, in order to take advantage of potential economic events
• Drill deeper and find stocks positively or negatively impacted by individual levers (economic factors) like Inflation, Home Prices, Agricultural Commodities, Defense Spending, and many more.
• Research an individual stock to see what levers affect it and how it might perform in different economic scenarios.

Try HiddenLevers out – we think it will add another valuable angle to your investment planning and research! HiddenLevers is currently in beta mode, so don’t hesitate to leave feedback to help improve it.
