European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet has proven throughout this financial crisis that he is his own man when it comes to navigating the euro-land banking system through the deflation and debt deleveraging storm. And will likely save Europe from overspending.

Bob Prechter is issuing a second edition of Conquer the Crash with 188 new pages of real-time commentary on markets and the mounting prospects for deflation -- rather than inflation -- to become the true threat to the U.S. economy. In the first edition, he described dozens of today’s financial and economic troubles. He not only explained why they would happen but also advised readers how to protect themselves from a deflationary depression. Many of the events forecast in the book still lie ahead.

These days, the U.S. dollar is about as popular in the financial world as a fur coat at a PETA convention. From China’s Premier calling for a new global reserve “super” currency, to Russia suggesting a return to the gold standard -- faith in the dollar’s ongoing leadership ability is fading fast...

The Federal Reserve has fired more rounds on its bailout bazooka than Rambo in hopes of keeping the leading pillars of the U.S. economy afloat. This extension of virtually unlimited credit, says Bernanke, will stave off another Great Depression. Is He Right?

News reports say the Senate is preparing to vote on a revised plan Wednesday evening, but the question remains: Will this bailout plan – or “rescue” effort, if you prefer the government's term for it – save the financial markets?

At this point, the federal government should rename their plan for fixing the U.S. economic crisis to -- the “Weekend At Bernie’s” Bailout. Under this system, Fed chairman Ben Bernanke pretends the leading financial giants are still alive by propping them up with a multi-TRILLION-dollar back brace.

"Reckon" is an Old English (OE) word, which means it's been around too long to know when its usage began. The Oxford English Dictionary includes several meanings for "reckon," from the mundane ("to count or put straight") to the unnerving ("account for one's life to God after death")....

That magazine cover came to mind as I thought about how the Congressional bailout talks imploded on Thursday night, and how the announcement of Washington Mutual Bank's failure came on Friday morning. My inner cynic wondered whether the seizure of WaMu's assets was a "we're serious" message to the Congress from the Treasury and Fed -- as in, "Buy Bailout or We'll Shoot Another Bank"...

From the time the founders drafted the Constitution, Presidents and the Congress have often been in a tug-of-war over the scope of executive power. But this time, it's different. The expansion of executive power is not because of national security, war, or political scandal. This time, the president wants power without precedent because the debt-based, monopoly-currency financial system has failed.

Picture a nice home in a nice neighborhood. Two men in dark suits walk up and knock on the nice front door:
Men: Hello, we're from the government. Not only are we here to help, we're also going to rob you for your own good...

Let's see -- "weapon," "arsenal," "combat," "threatens." Sounds like the SEC is "committed" all right, but language like that makes me wonder if bureaucrats are up to the task. Perhaps the Department of Homeland Security should do the enforcement dirtywork, or for that matter a brigade of Marines. Killing all the short sellers is easier with executioners who won't point the business end of the weapon at their own feet....

Government officials and newspaper editorials, even those from skeptical writers, have been unanimous in claiming that a bailout, no matter how unpleasant, was “necessary.” But this is nonsense. Find out why.

...a recent Atlanta Journal Constitution headline: “Therapists helping builders cope during housing slump.” The article explained how “Every builder seems to know a colleague swamped in debt, and a few know friends in the business who have taken their lives.” A year ago, few imagined that smiling builders talking on cell phones in big trucks would soon be seeking emotional support on therapists’ couches.

Many people think the Fed has “saved” Fannie and Freddie, and the FDIC will “save” all depositors from the effects of the mortgage and credit crisis in the United States. Most people hope the crisis is just another temporary interruption in the “normal” bull market, and a return to the status quo is just around the corner.

The bleak, nail-biting drama known as “The Tempest… In the U.S. Credit Market” has played out as one terrible scene after another: The once formidable Titans of Finance fell from an over-leveraged grace, triggering $300 billion in write downs, massive layoffs, losses, government bailouts, record-high foreclosures, and pretty much every variety of economic setback...

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.
