    The past two months we have seen all the focus from traders and investors be on the equities market. And rightly so and stocks run higher and higher. But there are two commodities that look ready to explode being gold and oil (actually three if you count silver).

    Below are the charts of gold futures and crude oil 4 hour charts. Each candle stick is 4 hours allows us to look back 1-2 months while still being able to see all the intraday price action (pivot highs, pivot lows, strong volume ...

    What To Expect in the Final Week Of February for Precious Metals, Gold Stocks & Dollar

    This morning we are seeing the US Dollar index move higher retesting a short term breakdown resistance level. What this means is that the dollar fell below support and is not slowing drifting back up to test the breakdown level. As we all know once a support level is broken it then becomes resistance. So if that holds true with the current move in the dollar we should see stocks and commodities find     ...

    This chart debunks a long-held myth.
    By Elliott Wave International

    Back in the day, one of the first things I "learned" about investing was that low or declining interest rates are good for stock prices.


    I've since had to "unlearn" this.


    A certain market commentator recently reminded me of the "lower rates equal higher stocks" myth. He opined that stocks aren't being kept afloat by hopes for a European debt solution, but then claimed that the real reason ...

    Earnings season is now upon us and so far the only major earnings component that has been released is the J.P. Morgan earnings report that came in Friday before the market opened. After the report was digested by the marketplace, prices fell dramatically.

    While the charlatans in Washington try to sell the American public into believing that the U.S economy is starting to firm up, the underlying truth is that the recovery has been relatively week. If it were not for the massive liquidity     ...

    I think you will admit that we are in the middle of one major crazy financial mess. The part that makes things really crazy is that it’s not just in the United States anymore but rather serious global problem which if not handled properly could change the way we live our lives going forward or possibly even spark some type of war, hopefully things don’t get that crazy… But I do know one thing. Fear is the most powerful force on the planet and people do some crazy things when they are backed into ...

    EWI's Brian Whitmer shows how the European financial markets move despite the news
    By Elliott Wave International

    As the news from Europe about bailouts and the euro's viability changes by the hour, EWI's European editor, Brian Whitmer, doesn't see the uncertainty as a problem. In fact, he points out that when uncertainty blooms, you can really see that markets aren't rational and that Elliott waves tend to become even clearer. He discusses the "uncertainty in Europe" in this excerpt from the ...

    Over the recent couple months the precious metals charts have made some sizable moves. Most investors and traders were caught off guard by the sharp avalanche type selloff and lost a lot of hard earned capital in just a few trading sessions. Gold dropped over 20% and silver a whopping 40%.

    The crazy thing about all this is that these types of moves in precious metals can be avoided and even taken advantage of in certain situations. There is no reason for anyone to continue holding on ...

    The prevailing universal sentiment is neutral to bearish by advisors and the general investing public. Who can really blame them given the Euro-Zone mess, the potential bank contagion collapse effect, and the weak economic trends both here and overseas. However, the work I do is almost entirely behavioral based analysis looking at crowd or herd behavioral patterns.

    Right now, things are adding up to a market bottom as early as the October 7th-11th ...

    It seems everyone is looking for a place to put their hard earned money as uncertainty around the globe continues to rise. Oil, Gold, and Silver which have been the hot investments for the past few years took it on the chin over the past month with oil falling 13%, gold dropping 15%, and silver with a whopping 30% decline. We did actually see sharply lower prices, but last week these oversold commodities had a bounce and recouped some of their losses.     ...
