Dow Jones Industrial Average at 173? Not if... but Now!

Nico Isaac — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:45:00 ET

True or False: The “Real” Dow Jones Industrial Average has rallied more than 30% from its March 2009 low, standing near its highest level in nearly six months. That depends on who you ask. According to the mainstream experts, the answer is clearly YES. For many in this camp, the Dow’s upsurge is the “slow and steady” start of a new, “healthier” bull market.

Have the Past 10 Years Been a "Lost Decade"?

Robert Folsom — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 05:15:00 ET

While I agree that this description tries to capture what happened, it doesn't come near the reality -- that is, unless "lost" is supposed to mean the LOSSES investors suffered during TWO catastrophic bear markets in ONE decade. And if you think "catastrophic" overstates matters, well, my guess is that you probably were not "fully invested" in the stock market when things went south (twice)...

Is the Bear Finally Set to "Beat It"?

Nico Isaac — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:30:00 ET

As the U.S. stock market continues its white-knuckle hold on a 20%-plus rally from early March, the mainstream experts are singing along to one song in particular: "We've Got Blue Skies" ahead in the world's leading economy.

Stocks: Why Are Investors "Getting Worried" Only Now?

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:45:00 ET

Since its June 12 top, the DJIA has lost close to 6 percent. Blame the economic data, say the mainstream financial analysts. But why would investors who disregarded "bad fundamentals" for more than three months suddenly be worried about them? It's a puzzling situation, but only until you look at it from an Elliott wave perspective.

At Last: The True "Villain" of the Financial Crisis

Robert Folsom — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:15:00 ET

I agreed years ago that the random walk was implausible. But I didn't come to this view because of behavioral economists, although their work over the past decade has certainly been valuable. Instead, I was persuaded by the work of someone who first challenged the financial orthodoxy more than three decades ago, specifically April 1977 ...

At some point after learning the basics of the Elliott Wave Principle, you've probably said to yourself -- let's try and count some waves. The Principle claims to work in any liquid, freely traded market, so let's see if it really does. Here are a couple of hurdles you'll need to overcome first...

Robert Folsom — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 04:30:00 ET

Okay, no. 2, 4, and 7 are also real stories, though no one cited them as the "reason" the market was down...

Why Can Stocks Rise and Fall So Fast? Because Investors Herd

Vadim Pokhlebkin — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:00:00 ET

It's becoming a hazy memory for many investors, but you may still remember the unbelievable volatility we saw in the DJIA and S&P500 just eight months ago. The reason why those wild gyrations of the world's benchmark stock index were so hard to believe was because it just didn't seem rational. Well, see if this explanation from Bob Prechter sheds any light on that…
