by Nico Isaac
9/15/2009 11:30:00 AM
This day -- September 15, 2009 -- marks the one-year anniversary of Lehman Brothers' collapse, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. More than "one for the history books," this event goes down as the "weekend Wall Street died" and re-emerged as Zombieland -- the bleak home to once booming financial firms gone bust, feeding off the lifeblood of federal bailout money.

Last week saw another nauseating milestone in the ongoing economic crisis. The price for one share of Citigroup is now the same as a McChicken sandwich: A buck and some change. For many, it's the ultimate wake-up call. But what about hearing said "call" before the ALARM bells went off?

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.
