Many investors are blissfully unaware of the fact that many muni funds use leverage to pay high distributions. This added layer of risk makes these funds subject to the same liquidity concerns that plague other risky assets -- and as such, many muni bond funds act similarly to stocks.

For six clear answers, let's turn to someone with 15+ years of experience in wave analysis and trading -- Jeffrey Kennedy, editor of EWI's Daily and Monthly Futures Junctures and one of EWI's top instructors.

In his August 2009 Theorist, Bob Prechter explains what "the prudent thing to do" in the markets is, based on Elliott wave patterns and sentiment indicators -- plus the Dow's 3/8 Fibonacci retracement from the March 9 low.

One year ago, The Elliott Wave Theorist published a study that showed the importance of Fibonacci time durations in the establishment of political rights for African-Americans and women. It's still exciting and relevant today.

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...

Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, I like how in your Daily Futures Junctures, you always remind subscribers of Elliott wave basics. So, let's talk about some basics today. Here I am, looking at chart of commodities, trying to find an Elliott wave pattern. What am I looking for? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: You're looking for this basic Elliott wave sequence...

Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, the latest reports show that commodities are “headed for a third quarterly drop, the longest losing streak since 2001, as demand for raw materials from crude oil to nickel shrank..." Analysts clearly blame price declines on the drop in demand. You are a technical market analyst, but do you pay attention to the supply and demand balance? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: A short answer is yes, but let me explain...

In Part I of this series, you learned about the basics of Elliott wave patterns. Part II introduced you to "alternate counts" and ways to identify the market position in the wave pattern. Part III talked about the Fibonacci sequence and the ratios within the sequence that guide the shape of Elliott waves. Part IV showed you how to use Elliott to establish investment strategy and reduce risk. This is the last article in the series, and it covers the ways you can take advantage of the Wave Principle in trading.

In the first article of this series, you learned the basics of Elliott wave patterns. Now let’s take a look at how we can (or can't) identify completed wave structures in order to see where the market is within a larger pattern (or trend). Then we’ll use the Three Rules of Elliott to decide where it is likely to go, and use "alternate counts" to order the probabilities.

Being able to tell an Elliott wave impulse from a correction on a chart is the most basic and important skill for an Elliottician. Let's turn to Jeffrey Kennedy, Elliott Wave International's Senior Commodity Analyst, for another tip on how to do it.

I'll bet that if you ask ten people which of these two words – "order" or "chaos" – they associate bull and bear markets with, eight out of ten will say that bull markets bring order, while bear markets are chaotic. Yet in terms of price movements, both bull and bear markets are quite orderly. You want proof? OK.

Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, I don't think I'm alone in saying that whatever the problem, I prefer simple solutions. Now, you use Elliott wave analysis on commodities every day, and I've seen you make it both simple and complex. Which approach do you think is more effective? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: It depends. When the chart picture is not easy to recognize as any specific Elliott wave pattern, it forces you to "make it complicated" by using additional technical analysis tools. But at other times...

After watching the hair-raising up-and-down action in the EUR/USD this month, now more than ever I take to heart the piece of advice that a good friend of mine, a currencies trader with 15 years of experience, once gave me: Be careful trading in December, he said. The forex markets thin out around the holidays, making it easier for big players to push the prices around. Whew, was he right.

Technical analysts, in recent years, have elevated “Fibonacci” to the level of a buzzword. Despite this unfortunate fact, in skilled hands, Fibonacci ratios can prove extremely handy when you're calculating a market retracement or price target. The most popular of these ratios are the .618 and 1.618. But here's a new twist on the old Fibonacci technique -- "Reverse Fibonacci"...

Once again, I sit down to talk with Jeffrey Kennedy, Elliott Wave International's Senior Commodity Analyst and editor of our Futures Junctures Service. -- Jeffrey, the ongoing credit contraction – a.k.a. liquidity crisis – has not spared commodities. Just glancing at the long-term charts you show in the Wave Watch section of your October Monthly Futures Junctures, I see that prices of markets like coffee, corn, wheat or soybeans that were flying high just months ago, are down hard – and I mean, hard! -- Jeffrey Kennedy: Yes, while some commodities have suffered less, corn prices, for example, got cut in half since June...

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.
