Today, EUR/USD, the exchange rate between the euro and U.S. dollar -- and also the world's most-traded forex market -- fell to near $1.27, a low not seen since January. Just two weeks ago, it stood almost 600 points (or pips, in forex lingo) higher. What if someone asked you back in April -- before this month's news from Europe -- where the euro would trade in May?

Quick story. Back in 1998-1999, when a gallon of regular at a local QT gas station cost 67 cents (I kid you not), a colleague of mine here at the office was talking to an old buddy, who told him this: "When a barrel of oil costs less than a 12-pack of beer, you know it's time to buy." Boy, do I wish I had listened.

A Story About Overcoming the Odds
Winning in the markets is hard enough. Imagine if you had to also overcome THIS

A rare opportunity came my way this past December: My company, Elliott Wave International, sent me to Orlando to attend Peter Brandt's Traders' Boot Camp. I say "rare opportunity" because, well, how often do you get to come to a training event for serious market speculators? Of the 20 traders at that Boot Camp, I'd say 7 or 8 had a $1 million-plus trading account. One had been written about in a Forbes article. There was a lot of success in that room. Why, then, you may wonder, did those traders pay good money to spend 2.5 days with Peter Brandt, the instructor?
