Suppose that all the conventional financial wisdom you've ever heard was written onto a large chalkboard -- and then someone gave you an eraser, a box of chalk, and the knowledge of how financial markets Really work. That may be the kind of vision you'd have after reading Bob Prechter’s best selling book “Conquer The Crash.” As the saying goes, you'll never think about the social, financial, or political world in the same way again.

From the time the founders drafted the Constitution, Presidents and the Congress have often been in a tug-of-war over the scope of executive power. But this time, it's different. The expansion of executive power is not because of national security, war, or political scandal. This time, the president wants power without precedent because the debt-based, monopoly-currency financial system has failed.

Government officials and newspaper editorials, even those from skeptical writers, have been unanimous in claiming that a bailout, no matter how unpleasant, was “necessary.” But this is nonsense. Find out why.

Forget faith. Forget unheard-of dollar amounts. Forget the Fed’s promise not to let the mortgage giants fail. The truth is: In forty years of economic history, there has been ONE single requirement for a financial bailout to pull off a meaningful recovery: A bull market in stocks. The full story awaits.

...a recent Atlanta Journal Constitution headline: “Therapists helping builders cope during housing slump.” The article explained how “Every builder seems to know a colleague swamped in debt, and a few know friends in the business who have taken their lives.” A year ago, few imagined that smiling builders talking on cell phones in big trucks would soon be seeking emotional support on therapists’ couches.

It’s no surprise homeowners felt invincible; they'd been told to feel that way every day. The mainstream media – the group who believes they're supposed to question authority for the good of John Q. Public – got caught with their pants down. Government agencies appeared equally inept – or at least unwilling to confront the problem. But there were a select few who not only knew, but were ready and waiting.

In the summer of 1868, Mr. George Hull of Binghamton, New York, decided to pull off a hoax. He had a gypsum block carved into the shape of a giant dead man, buried at a farm near Cardiff, New York -- and then later, he had it dug up. Thousands of people flocked to pay and see "Mr. Hull’s giant." And here we are, 140 years later...

Many people think the Fed has “saved” Fannie and Freddie, and the FDIC will “save” all depositors from the effects of the mortgage and credit crisis in the United States. Most people hope the crisis is just another temporary interruption in the “normal” bull market, and a return to the status quo is just around the corner.

It is late July, and around my house, that means it’s time to send the kids off to summer camp. My youngest boy, 9 years old, is going away for a week for the first time. And while we were packing, it suddenly occurred to me what a perfect metaphor that was for the U.S. Treasury’s plan to bail out the government-sponsored enterprises like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae...

Lehman Brothers on the skids, Washington Mutual shares plunge to a 17-year low, Citigroup and Merrill Lynch join the red-flag finanical parade, AND -- the third largest bank failure in U.S. history takes place with the shut down of Indymac Bancorp. Before the U.S. banking sector went to hell in a handbasket, we saw the "warning signs" of decline...

On Friday, July 11, the pandemonium surrounding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s fall from financial grace prompted some panic-stricken citizens to ask the most dreaded of all questions: If the U.S. government is forced to bailout the flailing mortgage giants, will the leader of the free world lose its coveted AAA status?

Few things seemed to spell trouble for the U.S. dollar early this week. But then on Wednesday, the dollar gave back all of Tuesday's gains. And on the morning of Thursday, July 10, the REAL turnaround came: The EURUSD, the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar, shot straight up, giving the euro the lead. What happened, you ask? Here's a Elliott wave explanation.

Once upon a time, the U.S. government created the secondary mortgage market. (During FDR's New Deal, if you're dying to know). With help from the agency known as Fannie Mae, this government creation grew tall and strong. What's more, the government held a virtual monopoly over its creation for several decades -- and after all, the market was its creation....

It's safe to assume that the "experts" really don't see this news as bad enough for me to jump out a window. So, when they say "don't panic," they probably mean something along the lines of: "Don't remove your money from the bank... or, for that matter, from the stock market either"....

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.
