To many, China's recent economic data suggests their bull market is here to stay: The 3rd quarter 2009 saw a 16% leap in industrial production and retail sales, and a strong rise in GDP to 8.9%... Does that sound familiar? IT SHOULD. Just two years ago, China's economic numbers were similarly strong. Yet do you remember what Chinese stocks did in 2007? Take a look at this chart -- it's a good remind that economic growth is NOT what drives the stock market.

Surely you've heard opinions that even if the stock markets in the U.S. and other developed countries experienced "a correction," the emerging markets would be just fine. Well, here we are. It's August 2008, a little over a year into the global liquidity crisis. China's Shanghai Composite stock index is down 50% from its all-time high; India's BSE SENSEX is down about 40%; and Russia's RTS is down over 30%. Why?

Asia-Pacific stocks suffered their “worst first half [of the year] since 1992,” reported news headlines this week. Plus, Japanese and Chinese manufacturers reported significant declines in activity. You might think that the reported slump in manufacturing in the region’s two biggest economies might be a big reason for the poor performance of Asia-Pacific stocks in the first six months of this year. And, in a way, you’re right...but probably for the wrong reason.

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.
