In theory, fundamental market analysis should run as smoothly as a cement truck. News items gush forth from the media "mixer" and dry completely solid into a bullish or bearish mold over a market's prices.In reality, however, it acts more like a tube of Play-Doh. Case in point: the July 27 Commerce Department report on new home sales...

Contrary to popular belief (in fundamental analysis), there's no such thing as "bad" news or "good" news. There's only news. And in turn the media's constant after-the-fact interpretations of that news as good or bad, depending on the movement of the stock market.

What you're looking at is a picture of the U.S. Dollar Index against the Dow Jones Industrial Average. As you can see, the near-perfect mirror image indicates one thing: a strong negative correlation. Here's what EWI's U.S. Short Term Update Editor Steve Hochberg says about it.

If external events drive trend changes in financial markets, then the "road" of fundamental analysis would go in two simple directions: Bullish news would drive prices north, while prices would go south on bearish news. THE END That, however, is not the case. In fact, the "fundamental" freeway has more twists and turns than a Midwestern corn maze.

The fifth month of the year is here. And, for many mainstream financial players, that means folding back the dog-eared pages of the "Traders Almanac" chapter titled, "Sell In May and Go Away." So, is it smart to follow this age-old Wall Street adage? Well, it may help to go back and see how the other, similar saws of wisdom have panned out over the last year:

After decades of speeding down a trouble-free road of success, the Sports Utility Vehicle (S.U.V.) hit a major oil slick in 2008, spinning out of control and plunging hood-long over the cliff's edge. Fuel prices are not killing the S.U.V. A reversal in mass social mood is, as described in detail by the July 2006 Elliott Wave Theorist’sspecial, two-part study titled “Social Mood and Automobile Stylings.”

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.
