"Have you ever watched a dog interact with its owner? The dog repeatedly looks at the owner, taking cues constantly. The owner is the leader, and the dog is a pack animal alert for every cue of what the owner wants it to do. Participants in the stock market are doing something similar. They constantly watch their fellows, alert for every clue of what they will do next. The difference is that there is no leader. The crowd is the perceived leader, but it comprises nothing but followers. When there is no leader to set the course, the herd cues only off itself, making the mood of the herd the only factor directing its actions."

Last Friday (February 5) was yet another interesting day to compare the stock market action with the explanations from conventional analysts. (This show never gets old, I swear.) Around midday, the Dow was down almost 170 points; everything pointed to another grim day. But then the blue chips reversed and closed higher. Don't look for a good "fundamental" explanation: There was none.

In case you were hiding out Tiger Woods' style far away from the mainstream media over last month, let me be the first to say: January saw an abrupt end to the US stock market's record-setting winning streak. Last count, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 4% in its worst monthly loss in a full year.

Last Friday (January 29) was a great day to watch the stock market and compare the price action against the explanations from analysts. Throughout the day, investors and analysts simply focused on the news stories that best fit that hour in the market... This seems like a flawed approach, and here's why.

Most fairytales have a catch word or phrase that, when repeated, makes all the danger and pain magically -- "poof!" -- disappear into thin air: "Rumpelstiltskin," "Beetlejuice," "There's no place like home, there's no place like home." Today, the mainstream financial world lives in a fantasy where such a word exists, too; that word is "different."

This is part two of the January 18 interview with Roberto Hernandez, a talented S&P trader. "I agree with Bob Pechter that this bear market is not over. My oscillators are pointing down, so we are at the very least looking at a substantial correction. But the volatility will definitely increase again. And as I said before, if you are not experienced with trading in volatile markets, this is not the time to cut your teeth as a trader."

The VIX reading was one of the indicators that led EWI analysts to publish a bullish outlook for stocks in the period from March-June of 2009, in our Elliott Wave Financial Forecast publications. In March, with U.S. stocks circling the drain of a 12-year abyss, we anticipated a powerful rally that would bring the Dow Industrials to the 10,000 level at minimum, with an accompanying surge in positive sentiment readings.

Once in a while I'll see one of our analysts offer a forecast at three or four degrees of trend. I've very rarely seen one at five degrees of trend. What I've never seen or read is a forecast that involves a point in a pattern at six degrees of trend -- until now...

As the Northern Hemisphere braces for one the most hostilely cold winters on record, the financial world is stripping down to its skivvies in celebration of an alleged "sizzling" SEASON of fourth-quarter earnings. Here's the gist: On Monday, January 11, the much-anticipated report card for publicly traded companies was released.

Of the many forward looking market indicators we at EWI employ, one of the most interesting tools (and least discussed in the financial media) is the DJIA priced in gold. We've been tracking the Dow/Gold ratio for years and it has serves our subscribers well. Here's a good example.

By now, the financial panic of March 2009 is a hazy memory for many investors. The Dow is above 10,000. "The Great Recession" is apparently "over." And according to the popular vote, the man to thank is Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, who's just been named Time Magazine's "Person of the Year." But could this award mark a turning point for the markets?

Today is the official debut of my new column titled "Financial Myths Exposed." One at a time, I will reveal why some of the most prominent mainstream beliefs have little or no basis in reality. To kick things off, I'm starting with one of the most widely held "truisms" of Wall Street: i.e. Earnings Drive Stock Prices.

In the final two days of August 2009 alone, Bob Prechter was mentioned in several news outlets from MarketWatch to the New York Times. The claim to his "fame" -- EWI was one of the only technical analysis firms to anticipate a sharp rally in U.S. stocks as they circled the drain of a 12-year low this spring...

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.
