“They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round
They all laughed when
Edison recorded sound.”
George Gershwin.
They all laughed in 1982 when Bob Prechter predicted a new all-time high for the stock market.

Do the Stock Indexes Actually Show How Investors "Are Doing"?
Stock Market Myths 101

by Robert Folsom
2/29/2008 5:45:00 PM

After all, half the households in America own equities via 401k accounts, mutual funds, IRAs, common stocks, etc., etc. Whatever the vehicle, people who own equities get in for "the long term." The "rational" advice of nearly all financial "experts" is for people to "buy and hold" in bull and bear markets. So that's exactly what investors do.
Right?
If you believe that, dear reader, then have I got a Biscayne Bay condo for you. The "experts" may well drivel on about how people should buy & hold, but any claim that most investors actually do so during bull and bear markets is complete rubbish....

Hint to Putin & Chavez: Markets Are Key to Your Popularity

by Susan C. Walker
12/5/2007 9:45:00 AM

Vladimir Putin and Hugo Chavez, needn't have waited for vote returns; all they really needed to do was double-check how their nations' stock markets did over the past few months. Then they could have known the outcomes in advance of the vote counts. Why?

Searching for FWMDs
Well, financial markets actually found these weapons... in 2007 -- a bit later than we did.

Once-transparent global financial systems have become opaque, changing too fast to be visible. New varieties of financial contracts are evolving rapidly, such as credit derivative futures, credit default swaps, binary options, and soon perhaps, derivatives of credit derivatives, or even derivatives cubed (D3, perhaps?).

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.
