In case you were hiding out Tiger Woods' style far away from the mainstream media over last month, let me be the first to say: January saw an abrupt end to the US stock market's record-setting winning streak. Last count, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 4% in its worst monthly loss in a full year.

Most fairytales have a catch word or phrase that, when repeated, makes all the danger and pain magically -- "poof!" -- disappear into thin air: "Rumpelstiltskin," "Beetlejuice," "There's no place like home, there's no place like home." Today, the mainstream financial world lives in a fantasy where such a word exists, too; that word is "different."

The VIX reading was one of the indicators that led EWI analysts to publish a bullish outlook for stocks in the period from March-June of 2009, in our Elliott Wave Financial Forecast publications. In March, with U.S. stocks circling the drain of a 12-year abyss, we anticipated a powerful rally that would bring the Dow Industrials to the 10,000 level at minimum, with an accompanying surge in positive sentiment readings.

In the final two days of August 2009 alone, Bob Prechter was mentioned in several news outlets from MarketWatch to the New York Times. The claim to his "fame" -- EWI was one of the only technical analysis firms to anticipate a sharp rally in U.S. stocks as they circled the drain of a 12-year low this spring...

Once upon a time, the term "Black Monday" was to Wall Street what the name "Lord Voldemort" was to Hogwarts. It turned the air freezing cold and sent traders flinching around every corner in fear of a repeat of the October 19, 1987 or October 28, 1929 meltdown. That was then. Now, a widespread belief in a new "global bull market" has put fears of a Black Monday repeat to rest....

Long story short: The recent, 400-plus point (4.5%) nosedive in the Dow Jones Industrial Average wasn't part of the new-bull-market blueprint. According to the usual experts, the Dow was on a one-way winning streak after soaring to a fresh, yearly high on Sept. 23.

Conventional economic wisdom lurks in the shadow of a system that uses news events to explain the direction of financial markets. Or, at best, it presumes ahead of time how prices will react to upcoming data -- and is inevitably thwarted by a fickle market that blatantly "ignores" negative stats to move higher, or "shrugs off" positive ones to turn down.

More and more, Wall Street does with its old adages what department stores do with holiday decorations: they put them out months ahead of time so that shoppers already think "Easter bunny" at Thanksgiving. Case in point: The fall season is barely upon us and already, the financial mainstream is gearing up for the widely anticipated "October Curse" to strike down the bullish trend in stocks.

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...

Left on your own, the world of technical analysis of financial markets can feel a lot like entering the dauntingly vast online dating pool.

It's well worth it to sign on with the experts... and now you can.

True or False: The “Real” Dow Jones Industrial Average has rallied more than 30% from its March 2009 low, standing near its highest level in nearly six months. That depends on who you ask. According to the mainstream experts, the answer is clearly YES. For many in this camp, the Dow’s upsurge is the “slow and steady” start of a new, “healthier” bull market.

As the U.S. stock market continues its white-knuckle hold on a 20%-plus rally from early March, the mainstream experts are singing along to one song in particular: "We've Got Blue Skies" ahead in the world's leading economy. "2009 could be the year that we put the worst behind us," observes a recent Associated Press.

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.

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.

On Monday, April 27, and the early morning of April 28, the Dow took a flying leap south in a strong sell-off. As for why, the mainstream experts had one animal on the brain. Not bull. Not bear. But rather, Pig. Namely: the phase-four hog flu that is rapidly spreading across the planet...

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.

On April 17, the U.S. stock indexes finished their sixth straight UP week in a row. Final tally: From its 12-year low on March 9, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had rocketed 24%, while the S&P 500 scored a 28% gain in the same period. The winning streak obviously led the better part of planet Earth to ask one single question: IS the final bottom in for stocks?

It’s hard enough to track the volatile swings in the U.S. stock market, without having your brain scrambled even further by the ever-fluctuating “insights” of the mainstream media. Case in point: The widely differing opinions as to why the blue-chip indexes soared to one-month highs on March 27.Check out the full story...

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.
