Have You Lost YOUR Way Amidst Gold's Wild Price Swings?
Since gold's early December high, EWI's Metals Specialty Service has consistently recognized critical price action in gold
By Nico Isaac

In the final months of 2011, the widely watched "gold bull market" started to adopt its name, literally. Meaning, the price action in gold took on the life of a rodeo bull, swinging and bucking wildly in every direction, hurdling off the pundits one by one. Here's the scene: In early December, gold took the bull by the horns with prices nearing a lofty $1740 per ounce. Three major events were said to keep the hooves firmly planted to the ground

Companies favored by the conventional wisdom as good for the long run may not even live to see the "long run," let alone perform well along the way. In the just published January Financial Forecast, you'll see a chart of a well-known "blue chip" which appears to be ready for a "meltdown"...

In the world of physics, action is followed by reaction. Most financial analysts, economists, historians, sociologists and futurists believe that society works the same way. They typically say, “Because so-and-so has happened, such-and-such will follow.”

Have Gold Prices Gone "Rogue"? Not Exactly
EWI's Metals Specialty Service reveals that gold's seemingly chaotic sell-off actually fits within the Elliott wave rules and guidelines
By Nico Isaac
12/14/2011 3:15:00 PM
According to a December 6 Financial Times, "gold has been a conundrum in the past couple of months." Namely, gold prices have fallen despite a slew of "safe-haven" supportive news events. Today, I'm sitting down with EWI's trader-focused Metals Specialty Service to see how gold's recent decline, while puzzling to fundamental analysts, actually falls within the laws of Elliott wave analysis.

Despite its "ultimate safe-haven" status and the worsening European debt crisis, gold has only gone down in December. On December 12, the precious metal plunged more than 3% in its steepest single-day drop in three months. Are gold bulls' days numbered? Well, today (December 13), I am sitting down with EWI's Financial Forecast Service co-editor Pete Kendall to discuss the move.

When gold traded below $300 a decade ago, few investors were interested. Now that prices have quintupled, there are countless gold bulls -- even with the precious metal off its high. The Elliott wave pattern of gold prices is signaling a timely message...

You may not have realized that in real terms, 6 of the 8 major Asian-Pacific markets Global Market Perspective covers each month still trade below their peaks of the early 1990s -- or even the late 1980s. Does that mean that the Asian bull markets have been a "fake"?

Gold: Boldly Going Where It Has Not Gone In a While?
EWI's Metals Specialty Service shows you the near-term trend underway in the world's most watched precious metal
By Nico Isaac

According to fundamental analysis of financial markets, external news events -- such as newly released economic data or newly formed weather patterns -- create market trends. In reality, however, the sequence of events is often WAY out of order. First, a market's price makes a significant move in one direction. And only then do the experts ADJUST the news to FIT said move AFTER the fact.

September 2011 was like a Wile E. Coyote cartoon for gold and silver. Both metals spent the first part of the month bouncing gradually down a hill. But in the last week, they stepped right over a cliff edge, hung in mid-air for a split second, and then "poof!" a straight freefall to the ground below. Splat!

Stocks Rebound After the August Crash. Are We Out of the Woods?
Prechter's detailed look at the market's pattern, momentum, sentiment and other important technical evidence helps you navigate stocks from here.

Reality check: Few investors realize that in just 2 weeks in August, the stock market erased all the gains of 2010 and 2011.
But after those 2 rough weeks in August, stocks rallied for more than 6 weeks -- a rally three times longer than the decline. Does it mean that stocks are out of the woods?

We all know gold right now is hotter than a mustard seed on Mars. In 2011 alone, gold prices have rocketed 30% to all-time highs. And, everyone from housewives to hedge funds is racing to board the gold investment bandwagon. Friday, September 16, the financial blogosphere revealed that the famous real estate mogul Donald Trump just accepted a $176,000 gold bar security deposit for space at his 40 Wall Street office tower.

On Friday September 2, I performed a two-step experiment to determine how well fundamental analysis of financial markets prepares investors for major trend changes before they occur. Step One: Read the mainstream news items regarding the one market that has captured the imagination of everyone from housewives to hedge funds: Gold.
