Have forex traders lost confidence in the idea that the U.S. was ahead of the rest of the world in regard to bad news – and now it’s leading the way back, away from the edge of recession? Or have they lost faith in the way the U.S. does business? And if it’s the latter, does it mean they have lost faith in the capitalist way of life? And what could that mean for the U.S. dollar?

Saint Albert the Great… and Merrill Lynch
How do you turn a risky asset into "gold"?

by Bill Fox, Senior Bonds Analyst
7/30/2008 1:15:00 PM

I have spoken in this column before that it is the insidious nature of deflation to undermine all asset classes and erode the capital base of an economy. As we unwind this credit cycle, cash is king, and commercial and investment banks are scrambling for capital – capital that has not been forthcoming while writedowns continue into Q4...

In times of panic, a drowning man will often pull his rescuer down under water with him. So it goes, one of the most dangerous threats to a Lifeguard’s safety is the very person they are trying to save. Sometimes… the choice must be made to let go. For the U.S. financial sector, that time is now...

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.
