Global Cargo: A Ship Stuck at Sea
To understand how global economy is really doing, look at global shipping rates.

If you keep up with international news, you may have seen this picture on Britain's dailymail.co.uk on September 16. The story said: "The biggest and most secretive gathering of ships in maritime history lies at anchor east of Singapore. Never before photographed, it is bigger than the U.S. and British navies combined but has no crew, no cargo and no destination..."

European Stocks: Think of Elliott Waves as a Map

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
5/29/2009 3:15:00 PM
"The Wave Principle, in some ways, is similar to a detailed road map -- one that guides investors through the market’s countless highways and byways. ...as with identifiable road markers, the market traces out recognizable Elliott waves, and you can begin to know quite comfortably where you are within a move." -- That's an excerpt from the just-published, June issue of EWI's monthly European Financial Forecast.

The action in stocks around the world over the past two months has raised a skeptical eyebrow for some investors, yet for others it has reignited the hopes of a new bull market. How do you know which group is right? Knowing "wave personalities" can help you answer this question.

How Can Stocks Rally When the News Is So Bad?
Stocks LEAD changes in economy, politics and even culture.

"Why is the market running up like it is with such bad news, massive debt, increased unemployment, increased defaults on mortgages and credit cards, bad debt at the banks, major corporation going into bankruptcy... Where is the top?" -- That's a quote from an email we've recently received at EWI's Message Board. It's a good question -- and the answer may surprise you.

European Stocks: "You Are Here"
Having perspective can greatly reduce the stress of your investment decisions.

It's one thing to forecast for a market to gain or lose -- financial analysts on TV and in print media do it every day. It's quite another to outline the actual twists and turns the market will take to achieve your price targets; a rare market forecaster can do that. And here's why it's so important...

This is part two of my interview with Brian Whitmer, the new editor of Elliott Wave International’s monthly European Financial Forecast. Here, Brian talks about Europe's "hidden" markets and gives tips on how to trade overseas if you are a U.S.-based investor. He also explains why he thinks the integrity of the European Union will be tested in this bear market.

Europe: Deflation is a Global Story (Part I)
This is Part I of an interview with EWI’s new European editor.

Why did you choose to focus on Europe's markets? -- Brian Whitmer: Well, in my opinion, there’s no better place than Europe to apply the Elliott Wave Principle and to study socionomics*. The continent has it all. You’ve got the large markets in London, Paris, and Frankfurt – those usually display the cleanest Elliott wave patterns, and they are perfect to help paint the big picture. But Europe has the smaller markets, too – which add excitement. Just look at what has happened in Ireland, for instance...

European Stocks: How Much More of the "Downside Fireworks"?

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
2/27/2009 5:30:00 PM

In early 2008, European stocks, especially those in Eastern Europe, were investors' darlings, "shelters from the storm." Well, try finding someone who thinks so now. And, says the European Financial Forecast editor Brian Whitmer in the new, March issue, judging by the "incomplete structure" of Elliott wave patterns in Europe's major bourses, they can go even lower.

European Stocks: Sideways to… Higher?
Will the October-November period of sideways trading in the FTSE prove to be "base-building"?

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
12/5/2008 4:30:00 PM

Despite the fact that in November the index suffered another significant decline, its overall performance since late September-early October has essentially been flat, with almost zero net progress in either direction. If you think that's interesting, you're not alone. The editor of EWI's monthly European Financial Forecast (EFF), Tom Denham, focuses on this fact on p. 2 of the just-published, December issue -- and presents the following chart...

European Stocks: Five-Wave Moves Speak Volumes
It's no secret that summer months are rarely favorable for stock investors.

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
6/27/2008 3:45:00 PM

Summer months are rarely favorable for stock investors. ("Sell in May and go away," remember?) What complicates things now, however, is the ongoing liquidity crisis that has plagued the markets for almost a year now. And while some analysts out there keep saying "the worst is over," others are not so optimistic.

European Stocks: Finally Catching a Break?

by Vadim Pokhlebkin
4/25/2008 5:00:00 PM

As expected, European stock indexes rallied in April. However, May begins the “worst six months of the year” according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. "Sell in May and go away, come back on St. Leger's Day," remember? They don’t say that for nothing...

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.
