Sugar: On Track To Opportunity

by Nico Isaac
5/8/2008 5:00:00 PM

In the real world, the supposed well-oiled "machines" of financial markets respond less like KITT, the obedient car of TV’s “Knight Rider” and more like the demon-possessed trucks of Stephen King’s horror flick “Maximum Overdrive.” Case in point, the mid-April news reports claiming SUGAR's uptrend was being driven by High Crude Oil...

You may know that one of the Three Rules of Elliott states that, "Wave 2 can never retrace more than 100% of wave 1."

Which means that you always know the exact price point where to place your stop-loss...

Each day, the mainstream financial media engages in a game of Cat and Mouse. Here’s how it goes: Various commodity experts chase after the rapidly fleeing fundamentals in hopes of catching a “live” explanation for the day’s price action.

Sugar prices have been falling this week. "Of course, it's nice that prices are falling since we're looking down," writes Elliott Wave International's Senior Commodity Analyst Jeffrey Kennedy. "However, markets rarely travel in a straight line. So, within wave (1), where exactly are we?"

Commodities: Concerns, Expectations, Speculations?
What moves market prices: cold hard reasoning or fears, hunches and rumors?

If today's (Monday, April 21) price action in commodities could be summarized in one news headline, it could read like this: "Commodity Markets Fall On A Variety of Concerns, Expectations and Speculations." But isn't that the same as "fears, hunches and rumors"?

Coffee: Wheel Of Fortune
You need some deductive reasoning to apply Elliott wave analysis in your trading.

by Nico Isaac
4/14/2008 5:45:00 PM

Mainstream financial analysis usually does one of two things: Waits around for this or that supply/demand report to provide direction to a seemingly delayed market – OR – cherry picks through the day's events for a “fundamental” reason to explain direction that has already taken place. Either way, it ends up missing out on the action.
