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...

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!

The giant sinkhole in gold prices keeps yawning wider. Since kicking into low-gear on September 22, gold prices have plunged 9% in their steepest three-day drop in 28 years. On September 23, gold endured a never-before-seen $120/day intraday wipeout. EWI's Metals Specialty Service might have some answers for you...

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?

Most analysts and investors spend time debating about this or that "fundamental," which did (or maybe didn't) push the price of gold higher (or lower). But there is a more objective way to analyze precious metals: technical analysis.

Precious Metal Mismatch: Silver Bear vs. Gold Bull
Is one metal leading the way for the other to follow? Or, are they headed in separate directions altogether?
By Jason Lureman
8/11/2011 5:45:00 PM
Gold has skyrocketed to all-time highs -- while silver has been heading lower. With these two precious metals usually "joined at the hip," it begs the question: Is one leading the way for the other to follow? And if so, which one is leading?

More than a month has passed since silver prices endured a 30% crash from their April 26 peak to their early May low. Yet, the mainstream financial "investigation" as to what caused the metal's abrupt drop is no closer to being closed. According to the latest theory, silver's rout was the result of some UFO-like conspiracy; as in, Unintended Falling Object.

A recent Financial Times article titled "Commodities Remember Gravity" describes the "cries of panic from commodity traders who had the rug pulled out from under them" in a market-wide free fall led by white-metal-gone-red, silver. (From their April 25 peak, silver prices have plunged 33% in their biggest decline in three decades)

Current Echoes of the Old Mania
EWI's May Financial Forecast reveals whether these familiar notes are the sounds of a new bull market
By Nico Isaac

In the decade leading to the end of the Great Asset Mania in 2007, a rising tide of credit expansion drove many major financial market trends in remarkable harmony. Yet in 2009 this correlation seemed to diverge: stocks, precious metals, and oil moved contra-cyclically. But today, the trend in those markets is aligned once again.
