Spent part of my weekend reading Bob Prechter’s latest newsletter, which is always thought provoking. The folks on his team were kind enough to allow us to republish this article from the April issue of Bob’s Elliott Wave Theorist. In terms of technical and sentiment analysis, I think Prechter is second to none. He’s been […]
It’s looking more and more apparent by the day that deflation is returning to the financial markets – and with a vengeance. Yes sir, deflation is back – it’s out to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and apparently it has just run out of gum! The reflation trade is being exposed as the fraud we […]
Gold is one of the lone green spots on the screen today, as the markets get clobbered across the board. You could cite the latest sovereign debt downgrade, but in reality, this is not exactly breaking news by any means. Any trader with a few working brain cells saw this writing on the wall. In […]
No Fear, Again: Market Participants Are Opting For Extra Yield, Risk Be Damned Last week, a buddy from college sends me an email: “Hey, I got a little bit of cash sitting around, earning next to nothing in a savings account.

Who in their right mind Would want to be long right now? Get out or get short! Why the Markets Could All Crash – Soon Investing is a largely probabilistic endeavor. It’s nearly impossible to know exactly how the future will unfold, so instead we play the probabilities, in an effort to weigh the risk […]
Not too much new here Just a bear market rally On it’s last hurrah! One Last Hurrah for the Bull! Had family in town this weekend, hence the late post, but there’s really not much going on anyway. This current rally feels like a last gasp countertrend rally that’s just about out of steam. Where […]
Here’s a great guest piece by Robert Prechter, author of what is currently my favorite investment newsletter, the Elliott Wave Theorist. Bob talks about a subject that’s probably as near and dear to your heart as it is mine – market herding. And if you want to read more, at the end of this piece […]
Regular readers know that I’m a big fan of Bob Prechter’s investment analysis. One of my favorite aspects of his work is the use of sentiment indicators as a market timing mechanism – that is, when everyone is bearish, you should be greedy, and when everyone is bullish, you should run for the hills.

Whither deflation… Chased away by reflation? Or eye of the storm? Revisiting the Deflationist Arguments of 2009 Earlier this week I revisited two of my favorite inflation/deflation interviews of 2009, both courtesy of Jim Puplava at the Financial Sense Newshour. Being sympathetic to the deflationist arguments, I was interested in seeing if their forecasts were […]
