Almost everywhere I look in the mainstream financial media, I see story after story celebrating the end of the worst U.S. recession since the 1930's AND start of an all-out recovery to a brighter, smarter-for-the-pain bull market. "The grimmest days are now behind us," begins a November 5 BBC report. "All that talk of a return to the thirties now seems fanciful."

In case your name happens to be "Gilligan" (first mate of the marooned S.S. Minnow), allow me to break the news to you: According to the mainstream financial experts, the U.S. banking sector has officially been rescued from worst credit crisis since the Great Depression. If this sounds familiar, there's good reason...

This day -- September 15, 2009 -- marks the one-year anniversary of Lehman Brothers' collapse, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. More than "one for the history books," this event goes down as the "weekend Wall Street died" and re-emerged as Zombieland -- the bleak home to once booming financial firms gone bust, feeding off the lifeblood of federal bailout money.

Suppose that all the conventional financial wisdom you've ever heard was written onto a large chalkboard -- and then someone gave you an eraser, a box of chalk, and the knowledge of how financial markets Really work. That may be the kind of vision you'd have after reading Bob Prechter’s best selling book “Conquer The Crash.” As the saying goes, you'll never think about the social, financial, or political world in the same way again.

Politicians are converting bales of privately issued bad credit into what the government calls money. As we know, values do not come from nothing. So where does the value handed over to all these broke creditors come from?

In the words of renowned financier Warren Buffett: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” The tide of the U.S. credit industry is out. And everyday, more and more titans of finance are found standing in the shallow water without swimming trunks...

The heroes of the boom times have seen some troubled months. A full year after they first told us "the worst of the credit crisis is over," we're reading monthly (sometimes weekly) news about big-name CEOs (et al) getting the axe. If anything this trend is picking up steam, hardly a "worst is over" scenario. But who's really to blame?

On the morning of June 4, one phrase epitomized the frenzied climate on Wall Street: “Change is in the Air” -- As in, the 180-degree turnaround in the leading U.S. stock index from UP to D-O-W n. Since soaring to a four-month high on May 19, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been as happy as a clam… nearing a pot of boiling hot water...

The bleak, nail-biting drama known as “The Tempest… In the U.S. Credit Market” has played out as one terrible scene after another: The once formidable Titans of Finance fell from an over-leveraged grace, triggering $300 billion in write downs, massive layoffs, losses, government bailouts, record-high foreclosures, and pretty much every economic setback around.

While a failure in the swaps market could crush many hedge funds that deal in them, Elliott Wave International's Bob Prechter sees an even more basic reason why they will ultimately come to a bad end – that's because they're not really hedgers, they are merely buyers

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.
