Just when you think you've got a handle on the way certain fundamentals affect the market of your choice -- POOF! The rules change. Take, for example, the supposed set-in-stone logic that prices of crude oil rise when two things happen: The U.S. dollar loses and gold gains. As recently as late October 2009 -- with oil prices soaring to their highest level for the year -- this correlation was a constant mainstay of the mainstream financial media. Here, the following news sources from the time...

There are some jobs out there where having a split-personality would seem to actually improve your work performance. What got me thinking about that was the recent Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-like collage of news headlines regarding the presumed relationship between crude oil and equities.

Watch most markets long enough and you'll see them everywhere. Let's take a look at the latest action in crude oil futures, for example.

Over the last three months, crude oil prices have acted like a dog with a shock collar around its neck. One minute it's barreling up a hill at warp speed straight for the mailman at the top of the driveway. And then... ZAP! It's jolted by an invisible electric fence and sent scampering right back down to the place it started. Talking numbers: the market has been range bound between $75 and $65 per barrel.

In the eyes of mainstream economics, financial markets perform according to the laws of physics. There is a cause: i.e. some external event. And, there's an effect: A rise or fall in a market's price depending on whether said event was positive or negative. Okay. Let's think about that for a minute, and see where that gets us regarding Sugar's recent rally to a near 30-year high...

Most of the time, reading the mainstream news articles on a certain financial market is like watching some "Laurel and Hardy" comedy skit of errors. Picture it: The pair attempt to break into a house. Laurel goes in first through a window, which falls shut before Hardy can get through. Then, Laurel walks outside the front door to let Hardy in, only to have it lock on them both...

Left on your own, the world of technical analysis of financial markets can feel a lot like entering the dauntingly vast online dating pool. After running a basic search for a "best fit," you end up with 50 pages of candidates whose idea of "middle age" is knowing who Methuselah was ... personally. It's well worth it to sign on with the experts... and now you can.

According to mainstream economic thought -- fundamentals are to financial markets what tire pressure is to a Tour de France bicycle racer. To wit: Inflated (i.e. positive) news makes it easier for a market to soar up those steep mountain hills (i.e. price charts). AND, deflated (i.e. negative) news makes prices fall behind and struggle to climb.

I'm sorry, but there are only three possible ways a person could NOT know about the "demand crisis of 2009" long since underway in the energy smarkets. To wit: One, said person was born yesterday. Two, said person thinks "Crude" is the name of a Norwegian Heavy Metal band. Or three, said person lives on planet Mars

True or False -- Crude oil prices move in step with sugar prices. Reason being, the higher the cost of oil, the greater the demand for alternative fuels such as cane-based ethanol. Answer: That depends on whom you ask. Here are some recent statistics...

Crude oil is trading above $70 again. When oil starts to make big moves, hardly a day goes by without someone saying something like “crude up -- stocks down,” or vice versa. Take a look at these charts, though, before you agree with this mainstream opinion.

According to the financial mainstream, fundamentals are to markets what the moon is to the ocean's tides: Negative data drive prices down and ebbing out; while positive data draw them up and advancing in. Here's the problem: Tides don't regularly shrug-off or ignore the lunar pull. If they did, no one in their right mind would ever go swimming in such unpredictable waters...

According to the mainstream experts, Corn prices are tied to more outside forces than a marionette doll. In the last 24 hours alone, the usual sources have linked the grain's movements to heavy showers in the U.S. Corn Belt, the rapid re-emergence of Swine Flu fears, and ongoing gains in crude oil...

On Monday April 20, two main events took top billing in the financial press: the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 290 points. And, oil prices suffered their biggest-single day drop in over three months. According to the mainstream experts, the first event was directly related to the second. One look at our chart and you'll see why this notion is not true.

Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, spring is in the air, the Dow is off its lows, and so are some of the commodities: Crude oil trades above $50 a barrel, corn prices have seen a push higher, and so have a few other commodity markets. In your Daily Futures Junctures, you focus on short-term opportunities, but what about the bigger picture? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: To answer this question, we must look at chart patterns. Let's take corn, for example...

Ask the usual suspects, and the recent gains in corn prices are a direct result of rising crude oil prices. If the mainstream experts only bothered to check price charts, they would see that on every time frame – weeks, months, and years – the correlation between crude and corn is erratic, at best.

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.
