Greece has been a mainstay in the news recently because of its sovereign debt crisis. The movement of its stock index, the Athens Stock Exchange, though, provided Elliott Wave International's European Short Term Update editor Chris Carolan an opportunity to teach his subscribers about one of the useful technical indicators that he likes to combine with Elliott wave analysis -- Keltner channels. Enjoy this free lesson...

It has come to be called the "Greek Tragedy of 2010" -- the staggering fall from financial grace underway in the Hellenic Republic. The real tragedy, though, is that the mainstream financial experts didn't see the crisis coming until it was too late. Two years ago, as Greece's stock market boom was coming to an end, they continued to see the nation as the "key to Emerging Economies."

Economic woes in Europe's PIGS (an acronym for Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain, states at the periphery of the EU) have been grabbing headlines recently. Greece's swan dive has gotten the most attention so far, but there's likely another economy in line for the springboard: Spain.

Some of the weakest European countries have their own acronym, which runs counter to the positive overtone of the BRIC economies (Brazil, Russia, India and China). They are collectively called the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain). Each of these economies has problems, but none more so than Greece. And here's why you and other investors should care.

Many investors understand that peaks in confidence are the time to get out of a market and take cover. But to have that knowledge is one thing, to use it is another. This where the Elliott Wave Principle makes the difference: it provides the why of market psychology, and can even help identify the all-important when.

As of yesterday's deadline, it looks like US citizens decided that keeping a numbered account in a private bank is more scary than paying taxes. Switzerland's economy is highly dependent on financial services, and an estimated one-third of all offshore accounts are held there. Sounds like doom for the Swiss Market Index (SMI), right?

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet has proven throughout this financial crisis that he is his own man when it comes to navigating the euro-land banking system through the deflation and debt deleveraging storm. And will likely save Europe from overspending.

Russia's RTS stock index has been the third-best performing stock market around the world this year, with shares currently standing at a new high. So, has Russia -- widely known as "the lungs of Europe" -- fully recovered from its economic pneumonia? According to the mainstream experts, the answer is a resounding Y-E-S.

It's one of the first rules in the book of mainstream economic wisdom: a country's economy is the thermometer which "reads" its stock market's temperature. If financial conditions are heating up, stocks rise; if they are cooling down, stocks fall. Were it so simple -- millionaires wouldn't make up a measly .15% of the global population.

Most conventional economists vigorously dismissed the very idea of deflation just a couple of years ago, but now it' a global reality. Just like the Federal Reserve Bank here in the U.S., overseas central banks have used the "quantitative easing" policy to stop deflation. And just like in the U.S., something is not quite working. Why?

"My experience is that when people are first exposed to the Elliott Wave Principle, they want to know when 5th waves are about to end. But after some experience, the information that becomes most useful is 'show me when a wave 2 is ending' -- because that’s the point right before strong and trending 3rd waves start."

"The Wave Principle, in some ways, is similar to a detailed road map -- one that guides investors through the market’s countless highways and byways. ...as with identifiable road markers, the market traces out recognizable Elliott waves, and you can begin to know quite comfortably where you are within a move." -- That's an excerpt from the just-published, June issue of EWI's monthly European Financial Forecast.

It's one thing to forecast for a market to gain or lose -- financial analysts on TV and in print media do it every day. It's quite another to outline the actual twists and turns the market will take to achieve your price targets; a rare market forecaster can do that. And here's why it's so important...

This is part two of my interview with Brian Whitmer, the new editor of Elliott Wave International’s monthly European Financial Forecast. Here, Brian talks about Europe's "hidden" markets and gives tips on how to trade overseas if you are a U.S.-based investor. He also explains why he thinks the integrity of the European Union will be tested in this bear market.

Why did you choose to focus on Europe's markets? -- Brian Whitmer: Well, in my opinion, there’s no better place than Europe to apply the Elliott Wave Principle and to study socionomics*. The continent has it all. You’ve got the large markets in London, Paris, and Frankfurt – those usually display the cleanest Elliott wave patterns, and they are perfect to help paint the big picture. But Europe has the smaller markets, too – which add excitement. Just look at what has happened in Ireland, for instance...

In early 2008, European stocks, especially those in Eastern Europe, were investors' darlings, "shelters from the storm." Well, try finding someone who thinks so now. And, says the European Financial Forecast editor Brian Whitmer in the new, March issue, judging by the "incomplete structure" of Elliott wave patterns in Europe's major bourses, they can go even lower.

Conventional economists have no shortage of villains to blame the financial crisis on – but if you ask us at EWI, the culprits are as old as investing itself: fear and greed. Whether you are in a financial bubble or a panic, a herding mentality of fear or greed takes over. This curious behavioral phenomenon is precisely what the Elliott Wave Principle describes and studies: Wave patterns in market charts are nothing but fear and greed unfolding right before your eyes. Take a look...

Pliny the Elder, a Roman military commander and philosopher, was a busy and intelligent man. His greatest legacy, Naturalis Historia, was one of the largest written works to have survived to the modern day in its original format. To this day two items from that book remain in our everyday lexicon. And as I watch the actions of Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), all I can think of is Pliny the Elder's remarks...

 With 700 pages and a large, 8-1/2" x 11" format, it's only a "book" in name. In fact, it's an encyclopedic reference that covers every twist and turn of the rise and (initial) fall of the historic financial bubble - all observed and anticipated in real time via The Elliott Wave Financial Forecast and The Elliott Wave Theorist. |

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.
