Vadim Pokhlebkin — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:30:00 ET

The European Central Bank made a record "liquidity injection" into Europe's money markets this week. Will it help turn things around? Before you say yes, read this insightful comment by Robert Prechter, EWI's founder and president.

European Stocks: Putting Elliott to Work

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:30:00 ET

"My experience is that when people are first exposed to the Elliott Wave Principle, they want to know when 5th waves are about to end. But after some experience, the information that becomes most useful is 'show me when a wave 2 is ending' -- because that’s the point right before strong and trending 3rd waves start."

European Stocks: Think of Elliott Waves as a Map

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Fri, 29 May 2009 03:15:00 ET

"The Wave Principle, in some ways, is similar to a detailed road map -- one that guides investors through the market’s countless highways and byways. ...as with identifiable road markers, the market traces out recognizable Elliott waves, and you can begin to know quite comfortably where you are within a move." -- That's an excerpt from the just-published, June issue of EWI's monthly European Financial Forecast.

European Stocks: "You Are Here"

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:45:00 ET

It's one thing to forecast for a market to gain or lose -- financial analysts on TV and in print media do it every day. It's quite another to outline the actual twists and turns the market will take to achieve your price targets; a rare market forecaster can do that. And here's why it's so important...

Europe: Deflation is a Global Story (Part II)

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:30:00 ET

This is part two of my interview with Brian Whitmer, the new editor of Elliott Wave International’s monthly European Financial Forecast. Here, Brian talks about Europe's "hidden" markets and gives tips on how to trade overseas if you are a U.S.-based investor. He also explains why he thinks the integrity of the European Union will be tested in this bear market.

Europe: Deflation is a Global Story (Part I)

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 06:00:00 ET

Why did you choose to focus on Europe's markets? -- Brian Whitmer: Well, in my opinion, there’s no better place than Europe to apply the Elliott Wave Principle and to study socionomics*. The continent has it all. You’ve got the large markets in London, Paris, and Frankfurt – those usually display the cleanest Elliott wave patterns, and they are perfect to help paint the big picture. But Europe has the smaller markets, too – which add excitement. Just look at what has happened in Ireland, for instance...

European Stocks: How Much More of the "Downside Fireworks"?

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 05:30:00 ET

In early 2008, European stocks, especially those in Eastern Europe, were investors' darlings, "shelters from the storm." Well, try finding someone who thinks so now. And, says the European Financial Forecast editor Brian Whitmer in the new, March issue, judging by the "incomplete structure" of Elliott wave patterns in Europe's major bourses, they can go even lower.

European Stocks: "Hope And Optimism Prevail"

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:45:00 ET

Conventional economists have no shortage of villains to blame the financial crisis on – but if you ask us at EWI, the culprits are as old as investing itself: fear and greed. Whether you are in a financial bubble or a panic, a herding mentality of fear or greed takes over. This curious behavioral phenomenon is precisely what the Elliott Wave Principle describes and studies: Wave patterns in market charts are nothing but fear and greed unfolding right before your eyes. Take a look...

A Bucket of Sand for ECB's Jean-Claude Trichet

Bill Fox, Senior Bonds Analyst — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 03:30:00 ET

Pliny the Elder, a Roman military commander and philosopher, was a busy and intelligent man. His greatest legacy, Naturalis Historia, was one of the largest written works to have survived to the modern day in its original format. To this day two items from that book remain in our everyday lexicon. And as I watch the actions of Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), all I can think of is Pliny the Elder's remarks...
