If you didn't know any better, you might think the recent news items regarding the European stock markets were being written from inside a loony bin. Case in point, the following slew of Euro-related headlines: "European stocks DECLINED as Greek talks... continued" -- VERSUS -- "European Stocks RISE Amid Greet Debt Talks."

Where will the euro go on February 9? How about on the 10th, or the day after? The latest European "fundamentals" can’t really help you with that

"NEW YORK -- The euro moved toward a two-month high as news reports challenged hopes that the European Central Bank may be the clinch to an agreement on a second bailout for Greece." (Feb. 8, Wall Street Journal) Great. Now that you know why EURUSD moved higher on February 8, where will it go on February 9? How about on the 10th? The "fundamentals" can’t really help you with that.

Elliott waves often correct in terms of Fibonacci ratios. Once you learn about the common ratios, you will be able to identify target and retracement levels that you can use to make objective trading decisions.

A bullish consensus appears to be crystallizing. But that doesn't mean one should take a contrarian view for its own sake. One must look at the entire market picture, and ask, "Where are we in the market's main trend?" and "What are other indicators revealing?" We've asked and answered those questions...

You may have noticed that many investors tend to think that "Stocks in the same region of the world move together." This assumption seems to make sense, because regions often do share trading ties, natural resources, labor pools, etc. And yet... it's not the reality.

On February 1, Facebook revealed plans to raise $5 billion in the biggest internet initial public offering ever. Soon after, the vast majority of Facebook's 845 million users clicked "like" on the soon-to-be IPO's wall post. So, the big question remains: Does this salvo of social networking and micro-blogging sites really have a new "face"? One, for that matter, that won't turn into a sad, frowning emoticon from another tech boom gone bust?

Greek Stocks Surge 21%: How to Be Prepared for the Next "Surprise" out of Greece
Elliott Wave International's European Short Term Update explains why the latest rally in Greece's FT-ASE was a predictable event -- without the news or "fundamentals."

Here at EWI, our analysts don't forecast based on the whims of the financial news or "fundamentals", because we know from observing market behavior for over 30 years that news and events are not the markets' driving force. Instead, we study price chart patterns -- a method we've found much more reliable at predicting trend changes. Let me show you an example using the latest stock rally in Greece.

Cocoa: Keep Your Head On Your Shoulders
EWI's Futures Junctures Service reveals a powerful head-and-shoulders pattern underway in cocoa.

Today, my sweet tooth has gotten the best of me as I sit down with EWI's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy to discuss the past year in cocoa. My first order of business: This time last year, cocoa prices were orbiting the outer-galactic regions of a three-DECADE high. And -- with Ivory Coast tensions intensifying alongside an increase in demand from China -- all the "fundamental" signs pointed UP.
