The Inflection Point: Why the U.S. Dollar is Ready to Rebound -By Jack Barnes
|
|
|
|
|

Thursday, 12 May 2011
For most of the past year, anything involving the U.S. dollar has been what traders like to refer to as a "one-way trade."
And with good reason: Over the past year, the U.S. currency has traded in only one direction - down.
Indeed, during the period in question the dollar is down 8.3% against the British pound, 11.65% against European euro and 14.2% against the Japanese yen. On a year-over-year basis, the biggest gains against the dollar have been notched by the Australian dollar (20%) and the Swiss franc (26.7%).
This freefall by the greenback is part of the reason that gold and silver soared to new records and commodity prices have zoomed during the past year (before their decline in the past week).
But here's the thing: This nosedive by the dollar is ending - with a U-turn that's going to send the U.S. currency into a zooming climb.
Traders refer to this abrupt reversal-of-fortune pattern as an "inflection point."
And those traders recognize this about-face in the U.S. dollar for exactly what it is: A windfall profit opportunity for investors who understand just how to play it.

The Mainstream Says The Worst Is Behind Us: Are They Right? By Nico Isaac

We've got a suggestion for David Letterman's next "Top's" list: The top THREE reasons the mainstream financial pundits say stocks (and the economy at large) are finally out of the woods: - Reason Number Three: There are too many naysayers out there.
Case in point: A June 10 BusinessWeek cover featured a giant grizzly bear costume hanging fang-first from a wall hook with the caption, "Time to Slip into Something Less Comfortable?" Yet another popular news source recently announced "Stock Market Bears Are Back" and said the "increasing pessimism is a positive contrarian indicator for long-term investors." (MarketWatch). There's just one problem with this, which is -- as of May 27, "According to the Investors Intelligence survey of investment advisors, the percentage of bulls is still ten percentage points higher than the percentage of bears, despite [the April-May] 1480-point Dow decline. Sentiment is still a long way from the inconsolable pessimism..." -- points out the June issue of EWI's Elliott Wave Financial Forecast (online now.) - Reason Number Two: The sell off in stocks is a promising sign.
"Corrections are routine and even healthy events. The sell off may be creating favorable points of entry for investors." (May 27, 2010 BusinessWeek) |

The Wave Principle: Where The Rubber Hits The Road By Nico Isaac-

You could be to technical analysis what tweens are to texting, and it wouldn't make a lick of difference: You still wouldn't necessarily be trading at your fullest potential. The reason being: Without Elliott wave in your technical analysis toolbox, it's like looking at the world of opportunity through a narrow keyhole and ultimately missing the big picture. The Wave Principle can help you unlock that door. Teaching you how to do it is the goal of the latest free educational report from our Club EWI resource center, titled "How the Wave Principle Can Improve Your Trading." In this six-page article, our editorial staff reveals these (and many more) ways in which the wave model makes up for the ways ordinary technical methods fall short: - Technical studies can get you on board a trend, but the Wave Principe can say specifically at which point that trend has failed -- namely, when prices violate critical support or resistance levels in your price charts.
- Technical studies can identify the direction of a trend, but the Wave Principle can determine how high prices will rally or how low they will fall.
- Technical studies can recognize the strength of a trend, but the Wave Principle can discern the maturity of one; when it's time to take profits or raise protective stops.

Saturday, 05 December 2009
A well-known business magazine recently published a story with this headline:Stocks: The "Loss" Decade
A disastrous ten years for the stock market ends in just a month. Will the turning of a new decade change investors' luck?
One sentence from the story itself tells you most of what you need to know: "The ten years since Y2K are on track to produce the worst total returns for investors since the 1930s." The proof of the market is in its charts. Professional market technicians know something you don't. A solid grasp of the most successful technical analysis methods can help you cut through the hype and give you the big-picture, unbiased perspective you need now more than ever. You can now download a FREE 50-page Technical Analysis Handbook from the largest independent technical analysis provider in the world.

That's not news. The facts in the article more or less repeat what our own Elliott Wave Financial Forecast reported last March, complete with this chart: |
