by Nico Isaac
7/2/2009 2:00:00 PM

Fact: Corn prices have officially gone from sizzling to fizzling.

Soybean Prices: Without the Dancing Bears

by Nico Isaac
6/25/2009 6:30:00 PM
One thing about fundamental analysis I never understood was -- if financial markets are moved by outside events, how do they know which events to respond to?

by Nico Isaac
6/18/2009 12:00:00 PM

by Nico Isaac
6/11/2009 3:15:00 PM
Over the last few months, the Soybean market has taken the grains complex by bullish storm: As of June 10, soy prices stood at their highest level in nine months. And, according to the mainstream experts, there is one main factor behind the powerful bounce in beans: A declining U.S. dollar. Here, the following news item tips its hat to the notion:

Sometimes, a financial market will come along with wave patterns so clear and consistent that anticipating the future course of prices becomes a matter of when, not if. For EWI's Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy, that market has been Corn.

CORN-tracting Triangle: Is This Grain Set To Gain?

by Nico Isaac
5/21/2009 7:15:00 PM
According to the mainstream experts, Corn prices are tied to more outside forces than a marionette doll. In the last 24 hours alone, the usual sources have linked the grain's movements to heavy showers in the U.S. Corn Belt, the rapid re-emergence of Swine Flu fears, and ongoing gains in crude oil...

Red Metal: The Next Big Move In Copper

by Nico Isaac
5/13/2009 4:45:00 PM
When it comes to financial markets, equity prices tend to progress like the Boston marathon: Steady and straight in either direction. Commodity prices, on the other hand, often resemble the 30-yard dash: short, sharp, and sudden. The ultimate aim is to catch the rapid moves in their early stages, not their ending ones.

Commodities: Watch out for Triangle Patterns
Contracting triangles can be both frustrating and exciting

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
4/29/2009 12:15:00 PM

Contracting triangles can be both frustrating and exciting. They are sideways, corrective price moves that consist of five waves labeled A, B, C, D and E. The frustrating part is that they can go through all kinds of gyrations before finally ending in a strong thrust up or down. And that's the exciting part: After a market has contracted in a triangle pattern, it expands -- and here is a real-life example...

Coffee: A Chart-Stopping Opportunity

by Nico Isaac
4/23/2009 5:15:00 PM

According to conventional economic wisdom, outside "fundamentals" are to financial price trends what clapping is to an applause-o-meter. A positive response from the audience -- loud cheers, a standing ovation, and foot thumping -- makes the meter go up. AND a negative response -- low boos, awkward quiet, and empty stares -- causes it to turn down....

Corn: What If?

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
4/14/2009 5:45:00 PM

Corn made headlines on Tuesday, April 14, as prices rallied "the most in two weeks on speculation that wet, cold weather in the Midwest this week will delay planting in the U.S...." The really interesting question is: If this week's weather in the Midwest been warm and sunny, would corn rally anyway? From an Elliott wave perspective, the answer is yes...

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.
