Regarding the question raised by today’s headline, “Do Stocks Reflect The Economy?” -- the one-word answer is NO. The cornerstone of conventional economic wisdom is pure baloney.

Most people talk about the economy like it’s something that exists separately from them. Like it’s a hot-air balloon floating up in the sky. That’s us, here on earth, feet on the ground, and there’s the economy – up there, see it? But just what IS economy? Or "the markets," for that matter? Let's take a closer look.

After all, half the households in America own equities via 401k accounts, mutual funds, IRAs, common stocks, etc., etc. Whatever the vehicle, people who own equities get in for "the long term." The "rational" advice of nearly all financial "experts" is for people to "buy and hold" in bull and bear markets. So that's exactly what investors do.
Right?
If you believe that, dear reader, then have I got a Biscayne Bay condo for you. The "experts" may well drivel on about how people should buy & hold, but any claim that most investors actually do so during bull and bear markets is complete rubbish....

Fear makes people want to sell their stocks. It takes a level head to shake off thoughts of fear when others seem consumed by it – particularly when you invest in the markets.

Once-transparent global financial systems have become opaque, changing too fast to be visible. New varieties of financial contracts are evolving rapidly, such as credit derivative futures, credit default swaps, binary options, and soon perhaps, derivatives of credit derivatives, or even derivatives cubed (D3, perhaps?).

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.
