    The psychology of the market may be teetering on the edge
    By Elliott Wave International

    The stock market: one week it acts like Dr. Jekyll, the next week it's Mr. Hyde.

    That shift can even occur in the course of a single session.

    These dramatic fluctuations appear to be impulsive; and we know that impulse does not flow from cold reason. Even so, the Efficient Market Hypothesis would have us believe that investors are constantly applying reason and logic ...

    Investors and traders just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to economic news. For example Tuesday in the United States we saw strong ISM manufacturing numbers which surprised the market. The numbers were way above expectations and it triggered a feeding frenzy in US based investments like stocks and the green back.

    The following session Italy reported terrible PMI and unemployment rate numbers which took most of the wind out the European and US stocks. One day the data is great, ...

    EWI's Global Market Perspective foresaw the shift in European banks from lenders to savers via one remarkable chart
    By Elliott Wave International

    It's been over two years since the European Central Bank began its open-heart surgery of the eurozone's anemic economy. So far, the procedure has included an unprecedented $3 trillion-plus in bailouts, monetary transfusions, AND toxic debt transplants.

    Yet, according to a recent slew of discomforting news reports, the economies ...

    I came across some research on the subject of worry. Here's how it was presented:

    Things People Worry About:
    • things that never happen - 40%
    • things which did happen that worrying can't undo - 30%
    • needless health worries - 12%
    • petty, miscellaneous worries - 10%
    • real, legitimate worries - 8%
    Of the legitimate worries, half are problems beyond our personal ability to solve. That leaves 4% in the realm of worries people can do something about. ...

    Is now the time to gamble with retirement?
    By Elliott Wave International

    To meet ambitious investment return targets, some public pension funds must now swing for the fences.

    But many are down two strikes already, due to their previous big bets with hedge funds.

    ....the [pension] funds with a third to more than half of their money in private equity, hedge funds and real estate had returns that were more than a percentage point lower than returns of the

    After a few years of testing with both ETF’s and then individual stocks, we rolled out our MRM (momentum reversal method) platform at my ATP subscription service in November 2011. This is now beginning to get alot of attention in the trading community as in addition to the ATP service, I have shared some of the real time MRM type plays online with some very top notch traders.

    In essence, my work revolves around crowd psychology or what I call “Crowd Behavior”. If there is one thing ...
