You watch financial news, you know what's going on. Spooked by "concerns over a potential U.S. recession," investors are dumping shares on both sides of the pond. But if you ask us, what's going on here is as old as investing itself: fear and greed. Fear and greed move investors. Fear and greed move market prices, too.

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.

Global investors woke today with the bruises and blinding headaches of binge-drinkers after last week's wild-west bar-fight. In the heat of the action, the bartender left the saloon, and withered LBO prospects hid behind the piano and watched sullen credit markets shoot up the liquidity cabinet. The sheriff made himself scarce, and the undertaker, who has seen it all before, waited patiently at home. Another Saturday night in Boomtown.

At a dinner recently, I told friends I didn't have all the information I needed to decide whether global warming is caused by humans. They inched away from me, glaring as if I had blasphemed. The issue is emotional and political, and feelings cloud perception.

Edges are where the social and biological action is; they’re the first places shaped by change. On the edges of seacoasts, forests, riverbanks, and -- real-estate bubbles – gulls scream, chipmunks gambol, poison ivy grows, dreamers gamble, and predators wait. Edges are where most of the feeding happens. So what does this have to do with commodities?

The "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip character Daddy Warbucks is still a multi-millionaire, and he recently spoke before Congress in a new incarnation -- young, buzz-cut and handsome. Like death, taxes and the weather, war profiteers are perennial, and little is done about them. And it's useless to pass judgment on war itself; it's such a fixture of human history that some see it as a kind of progress. So, let's assess the popular notion that war is good for the economy.

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.
