Deflation

After years of rising investment prices and declining spending power, a new worry has snuck its way back into the minds of investors: deflation.

Financial analyst and social theorist Robert Prechter spent most of the past decade as an outcast among financial forecasters, because of his certainty that deflation would soon shock virtually all investors – despite the policy makers and string-pullers who promised to prevent it. But how could deflation happen when so many measures are in place to prevent it? How could virtually every expert deny deflation's existence as a threat?

To show you just what Prechter's deflation forecast was up against, consider this: Experts from all schools of the economics profession said deflation was "utter nonsense," a preoccupation of "small children," and as likely to happen as "being eaten by piranhas." How could deflation begin when the entire economics profession unanimously said it's not possible?

The following text includes Bob Prechter's most stunningly accurate writings on deflation since his 2002 best-seller Conquer the Crash – You Can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression. You'll see why Prechter argued deflation was likely, and why he was certain a monumental deflationary trend would unfold sooner rather than later. Remember, deflation is extremely rare; deflation last happened in America nearly 80 years ago. So, a forecast of deflation that proves accurate is a monumental feat – especially when all the "experts" disagree.

This report also shows why Prechter was virtually the only financial analyst who predicted deflation. His comments are a priceless insight into how you can likewise detach yourself from the influence of mass investor psychology.

First, Bob works to define deflation. He then addresses the question, "why is deflation bad," and spells out the effects of deflation. Bob also reveals how the powers-that-be were blind to US deflation risk. He predicts what their responses will be, and how those responses will fail. Prechter lays out the case for deflation in a way that even novice investors can understand (his analysis will make you wonder how virtually everyone but Bob got it wrong). He shares details of exactly how he believes the deflationary spiral will unfold. You'll get answers to important questions, such as can the Fed stop deflation and is deflation a precursor to depression. Bob shares current and historic charts of deflation, plus tips on deflation survival, good investments for deflation and much more.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
