In a survey, we asked our Global Market Perspective subscribers 3 questions.
This is what they had to say…
1. How do you use Global Market Perspective to guide your financial decisions?
“I use it as a general guide over the month to help me in my decision making.“
“I read GMP from cover to cover the weekend it arrives. It’s a great learning tool, as I am new to EW this year and it has accelerated my learning curve to no end.”
“I consider the few investment newsletters I still subscribe to (I’ve tried MANY over the years and have settled on just a few that I really trust, and think are valuable), to be my ‘team’ of analysts. I still use my own brain and analysis, but I look to GMP each month as my report that analyses world markets, precious metals, etc.”
“I use it to invest worldwide and I need to know what is to be expected in which market.”
“I use it to explore opportunities, get an update on currently traded securities, and look at wave counts. I don’t have the time to create wave counts myself for every market, so it is very helpful.”
“The current macro picture is important to the allocation of investments across the world, and GMP gives me an understanding of the technical themes within the wave-principle context to see where opportunities may emerge in the coming weeks and months.”
“I use it together with fundamental analysis and with my own charting work.”
“GMP and Elliott serve as the foundation for my investment approach which is heavily internationalized.”
“I purposely re-read GMP around mid-month, use it to refresh what the other reports such as Asia and Europe stated when I read them first part of the month. It acts as a reminder and summary and allows me to gauge the Markets. It guides me with the trends and opportunities that were set out by the other reports.”
“I use it to identify high-risk areas to avoid (countries, markets, investment types). I also use it to identify specific managed-risk opportunities (markets and etfs mostly). I am a read-it-from-cover-to-cover guy, but then I continue to dip into it over the following weeks.”
“I review it every month. It is used to guide me in establishing and updating my long-term investment strategy.”
“I put A LOT of weight in GMP to guide my investment decisions. I read it very carefully, highlight important points for me, and then base my decisions on it for that month. It has a huge influence on what I do.”
“It gives me an understanding of the economic position of other parts of the world and reveals possible opportunities.”
“I use it to look for market opportunities and risks on a broad level, cover a global investment universe based on independent, professional analysis by EWI, and get background insights on markets, wave structure, supporting technical analysis, investor behavior, sentiment, and socionomics. I use as reality check for fund manager research…”
“I use it to confirm my counts as well as spot new opportunities.”
“I read GMP cover to cover, usually that Friday night the day it publishes, or the following Saturday. I use GMP for overall market updates, to get a whole global picture, and to look for opportunities forming in any market that is covered. I always do my own analysis as well for anything investment/speculation I plan to get into.”
“I find it essential in the assistance of my fund allocations.”
“GMP gives a complete view of market action worldwide. This is important for me because as an European I want to understand what happens in Europe as well as in the USA; ad the importance of the Japanese market (shifted now to China and India) and you have the reason why subscribing to GMP. As everything in the markets is inter-related it is difficult to do without GMP.”
“Read it thoroughly when it comes out looking for ideas for broad ETF trades. Primarily looking for new ideas for change in trends.”
“The name Global Market Perspective says it all, I use it mainly to get general perspective of the markets covered in GMP, especially Forex and Metals to get a long-term view on things.”
“I use GMP for investment decisions, to improve my understanding of financial scenarios, and to understand the major financial trends.”
“The GMP gives me a different picture than the usual financial and economic mass media. I read all it. I most like to read the section ‘Economic, monetary and cultural trends.’”
“I use it for the mid-term forecast/perspective of global financial condition to prepare myself for my investment/trading.”
“It gives me an overview of world at large; macro-perspective and more granular perspective in the case of some markets like U.S. stocks and metals.”
“Gives me a picture of markets globally, both in absolute as well as in relative terms. I typically read the issue once as soon as it is released, and keep it as a reference through the month until it is superseded by the next issue. I use the information to invest my savings as I am dependent on my investment returns after retirement.”
“I pay close attention and use GMP as an intermediate/long term predictor. I often place trades but make sure I am able to hold the position for a while. I do not expect my position to be positive straight away.”
“I read GMP from cover to cover and eagerly anticipate its arrival every month. I wish I’d known of its existence years ago!”
“Our family business imports raw materials from Europe (euros) and sells them in the UK (GBP). Your currency commentary helps us decide whether to buy forward euro contracts (and how far forward) or stay spot. As GMP offers a monthly window to study all aspects of global markets it fits with our company need to fix prices over 6 to 12 month contract periods with our customers.”
“I use it as a macro reference for international and national investment decisions.”
“It frames my view of the financial and economic world.”
2. What is the single biggest challenge that GMP helps you with?
“It gives me a world view that I find difficult to find anywhere else.”
“The insight into what is going on around the world gives so much perspective. I enjoy the whole periodical.”
“Getting a read on the mood of countries and which way the markets are likely to trend. I do tend to look and invest medium to long term, so I appreciate the big picture analysis that GMP provides and the excellent charts which illustrate the information.”
“It clarifies the “position”.”
“It helps me identify opportunities with the greatest probability of success and helps keep me out of positions that may be dangerous. It helps to expand my world view.”
“Seeing multiple charts on multiple asset classes within the context of the wave principle helps me to see where divergence or wave 5s may make options worthwhile on a turn or understanding how different markets can confirm a market that has been beaten down by the media but may offer a bullish opportunity like Chinese equities for example.”
“To have a consolidated view of the different markets.”
“Perspective. It’s the only way I know to get an idea where in the count various markets are. I always try to match your counts with my own using the charts in GMP. Without perspective it’s like throwing darts into the void.”
“What to buy and when to buy.”
“The inter-relationship among the various markets and the broad perspective on specific markets in which I invest.”
“How to time my investment decisions.”
“GMP is good about figures and graphs for me. Shows scale. GMP is like a kind of weapon I have in time that nobody has around me. Makes me patient when investing.”
“Help avoid or limit drawdowns and find possible areas with higher probability of positive Investment outcomes and/or diversification.”
“Finding opportunities I did not think about.”
“FOREX, Metals and Energy sections are my main focus and it helps extensively as I perform my analysis of direction.”
“Most important for me is the potential waves pictures about the currencies, interest rates trends, about gold and other main stocks indices in Europe, USA, Australia…”
“The big picture can be elusive and fragmented without GMP.”
“As a retiree, I need to preserve capital and look for decent returns to avoid erosion of my retirement savings. I use GMP as my guide to long term investments.”
“The global overview and long-term counts for many markets.”
“As the name implies, I tend to read it to get a perspective. I find the information on previous wave patterns (i.e. how the crash is 2000 compares to now). I find it useful that it covers different stock markets and metals and currencies. I find the commentary on how the wave count and sentiment fit together useful.”
“GMP deflects global market garbage which is constantly issued by the media. We already follow a contrarian business path, so finding material which is not main stream and does not accept that markets are moved by world events, but by human, patterned herding psychology is reassuring.”
“It serves as a terrific consolidator of worldwide information at a reasonable price.”
“To see the future of the economy.”
“Providing clarity and perspective on EW counts.”
3. Would you recommend Global Market Perspective to other people?
“For any investor who wants to make his or her own decisions, GMP is very useful.”
“Yes, if they have some background in or want to learn about wave analysis and socionomics. It takes an open mind to read GMP, as it often talks counter to mainstream media and discusses things not found elsewhere. To me that is very, very valuable. GMP is not a breezy read that tells you exactly what to do. For smart, open-minded investors who are trying to get an edge, I think it is invaluable research and information.”
“Yes. It is done in a way which is easy to understand and quite practical.”
“Yes, if you want a good, actionable way to see what opportunities are on the immediate horizon around the world for technically-driven traders this is a great product.”
“I would and do. It is the most important investment publication I know about.”
“I would. It is a comprehensive survey of virtually all the relevant investment markets available to the public.”
“Definitely yes. And have already.”
“Yes, although it requires openness to also take a different view (e.g. include market psychology, market technicals, and socionomic viewpoints).”
“Yes, because it gives a comprehensive overview of world markets from an Elliot wave perspective.”
“Yes, even if you receive Pro Services. Gives a great background.”
“Absolutely I would. Since we began our subscription with ElliottWave, GMP has been the most consistently accurate.”
“Yes. It gives broad coverage of many of the World’s markets.”
“Oh yes! and I do so quite often. In my opinion GMP is part of a total concept of market approach… Try to interpret price charts, try to link them all together and make your conclusions… it is possible with a lot of studywork but who has the time? GMP does the work for you.”
“Yes, very insightful and alternative info compared to mainstream news.”
“I think GMP is a fabulous addition to almost anyone’s perspective on life, money, trends, economies, countries.”
“Yes, I would. Simply because it gives a prospective view (as opposed to retrospective analysis) of the markets, and takes a view on where risks and opportunities might lie.”
“Yes, I think it is helpful in understanding how the various markets are placed and what are the likely next moves.”
“Yes. The advice is priceless; for instance, my oldest son is in his early 20’s and understands why now is the wrong time to buy a home. He is few and far between, but his friends are following all the young lemmings over the cliff by buying new homes with mortgages. Most people have no grasp of world economics, let alone where global economies are heading. However, they will when we reach a market bottom and it is too late to do anything about it!”
“Yes, for great analysis including non EW technical indicators and very importantly–perspective.”
“Yes, good overview of the world investments.”
“Yes. I would recommend GMP to others. It is a great resource.”
