Most people have begun to accept that the U.S. economy is in recession whether or not the National Bureau of Economic Research has labeled it a recession yet. If you, too, think that the economy is headed for hard times, the next question is, how do you prepare for it?

"And forecasting fed rate cuts isn’t all it's cracked up to be, or at least it doesn’t appear to warrant the countless hours of discussion devoted to it on financial television. As we’ve discussed numerous times in our newsletters, the Fed follows the market, not leads it."

According to our Elliott Wave Financial Forecast's not-very-proprietary model for forecasting Fed rate cuts -- otherwise known as the spread between the Federal Funds rate and short-term Treasuries -- the Fed will lower rates again today. And as usual, Wall Street may well acknowledge the move by breaking out the party hats. But investors had better be careful,...

The coming deflation needs to be swift enough to out-run the actions of the Fed and Congress. If it happens fast, they won’t be able to act quickly enough to turn the credit deflation into a currency inflation before the former trend has run its course. Take a good, long look at the chart. This might turn out to be the profile of the stock averages when the big capitulation hits….

Amidst all the happy words and noises that followed yesterday's story that "Fed Offers $200 Billion Lifeline for Spurned Debt," most news accounts either failed to include or buried the truly relevant details. Looked at closely, the Fed's "Offer" of a "Lifeline" comes attached with the kind of terms you'd expect from a benevolent loan shark.

Bob Prechter almost wrote the script for the current show playing on Wall Street and around the world in his various writings for The Elliott Wave Theorist. For instance, a year and a half ago he wrote about how the Fed would prove to be impotent in the face of a serious credit deflation.

Whether it's minutes from the most recent Federal Open Market Committee, excerpts from the latest beige book reading, or some suggestive cough or sneeze in between -- the mainstream media answers the call of the Fed’s voice like a cat to an electric can opener. History shows, however, that all the Fed has to say -- and do -- comes AFTER the biggest moves in U.S. economy have already taken place.

The Economist magazine published a favorable review today of a book about the housing market crisis, and one comment from the review kind of jumped off the page: "The story has no single villain, but Alan Greenspan comes close. Under him, the Federal Reserve fuelled the housing boom by sharply cutting the cost of short-term money." So, from "Maestro" to "Villain" -- how's that for a reversal of fortune?

Businesses seem to be caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of rising costs and thriftier consumers. We call it by its real name here: DEFLATION.

The U.S. President, the Fed and all the central bankers and financial whizzes in the world are trying to put our Humpty Dumpty economy and financial markets back together again. But they aren't having much luck.

Does the Fed really know what it's doing? It seems like that's the fairy tale that most people want to believe.

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.
