It’s been two years since the sovereign debt crisis crashed onto the European shores. And, despite 1-plus trillion euros in emergency bailout loans, the region’s economy has -- as my British friends would say -- “gone pear-shaped.” So, is this what rock bottom feels like?

To continue the "global investments" theme started by the recent interview with EWI's Asian-Pacific analyst about the markets in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, I also sat down with our own Brian Whitmer, EWI's European stock market analyst. -- Brian, these days it's easier than ever to get exposure to global markets, especially given the explosion in ETFs. But there are too many markets to focus on, and too many opinions about them. You chose Elliott wave analysis as your market-forecasting method. Why Elliott? Why not just watch the news, like most investors? Brian Whitmer: To be successful in the market, you need...

April is Half-Way Over. What Will the 2nd Half Bring?

At the start of April, few investors anticipated any trouble ahead. March ended strong, and the majority of financial pundits and investors we convinced that April would also not disappoint. That one-sided bullishness was one (of many) reason why on March 30, the April issue of our comprehensive Global Market Perspective issued these warnings to subscribers...

Let's hear it for European equities. The major stock markets across the pond saw their best first-quarter winning streak since 2006. And while many experts are waiting to see how the markets deal with Europe's austerity measures -- the April 2012 European Financial Forecast lets the cat out the bag: "European Stocks Have Already Signaled" their next move. Take note, because this is what it feels like to watch history in the making.

Every recent stock rally in Europe ignites the hope that the worst of the debt crisis is finally over. Yet every mini-crash that follows mocks those hopes once again... and again... We watched ups and downs like these in 2007-2009, too.

Think back to June 2011. It was business as usual, so no one noticed the most important story -- namely that the FTSE's pattern looked eerily similar to a specific time in the past.

Did you realize that so far this year, France’s CAC 40 stock index has taken back nearly 2 years’ worth of gains in a mere 7 months? Same is true for the pan-European Eurostoxx 50 index. And, as markets dropped in September, less than 10% of futures traders said they were bullish on the DAX, FTSE, CAC 40 and Eurostoxx 50 in August and September. More...

Do you remember when the European debt crisis began to make headlines? It seems like it's been with us forever. But as EWI's August European Financial Forecast points out, the crisis began "21 months ago in Greece and Italy," as their respective stock markets topped. That's a hugely important point -- here's why...

In peripheral European stock markets, such as the PIIGS eurozone nations, the rally off the March 2009 low unfolded in near-textbook Elliott waves. But "core Europe" has been another story. In the Eurostoxx 50, DAX, FTSE 100 and CAC 40, rallies from the 2009 low have exceeded typical Elliott wave targets...
