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.

A number of news articles say the Baltic Dry Index reveals what's ahead for U.S. stock prices and the global economy. But does it really signal a stock crash and economic calamity?

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.

On January 31, the "Golden Cross" formed on the S&P 500 chart. Even though the S&P 500 closed the day in slightly negative territory, the index's 50-day moving average remained above the 200-day. What's our view of moving averages as a forecasting tool?...

You've probably come to this website to learn how to use Elliott wave analysis to impove your investment or trading results. Well, you're not alone. People have been using Elliott for decades, and today, we are speaking with one of them: Ms. Alayne Ginsberg, who discovered the Wave Principle back in the 1970s, and has been a fan ever since. Alayne talked to us on the phone from Colorado.

Do Housing Prices Hurt/Help US Stocks?
See an eye-opening chart in Robert Prechter's current Elliott Wave Theorist that sets the record straight

"Fundamental" analysis of financial markets follows one simple formula: negative economic data equal a fall in stock prices; positive data equal a rise. And, underneath every mainstream finanical news report, this equation lies. Take, for example, the long-awaited release of the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of US Property Values in 20 major cities.

Oil Prices: Which Way Is Up?
EWI's Energy Specialty Service attempts to cut a plain, clear picture of crude oil's near-, and long-term future
By Nico Isaac

When it comes to "fundamental" analysis of financial markets, one giant hurdle exists that makes it next to impossible to gauge where prices will go next: its total reliance on events outside the markets. Wars and peace; economic reports; political news; you name it, it all goes in the pot. As a result, not only is the public constantly adjusting how they perceive these events, but also the events themselves are constantly changing.
