We just want someone to blame... anyone but ourselves.

by Alan Hall

Bull market heroes become bear market scapegoats. Every hero and hero-wannabe should internalize this socionomic understanding and never forget it. For example, the large-degree shift in social mood that is driving the current bear market is also transforming Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan -- formerly known as the Maestro and "the savior of the world" -- into “The Master of Disaster”...

U.S. Treasuries: Staying On Track

by Nico Isaac
4/9/2008 4:30:00 PM
No one said it was going to be easy. But this is ridiculous. In order to stay on the trail of the U.S. Treasury market, the powers that be have one word of advise: FOLLOW the mainstream “experts.”  What they don’t tell you is: The path the “experts” blaze has more switchbacks than San Francisco’s famed Lombard Street.

There's More Than One Monetary Policy "Villain"
Greenspan's Reversal of Fortune

by Robert Folsom
3/6/2008 6:00:00 PM

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?

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.
